With this wicket, Starc has made a big record in his name. He has joined the list of bowlers taking the most wickets on the first ball of a Test match.
The left-arm pacer has dismissed 3 batsmen on the first ball so far in his Test career. These include Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rory Burns and Dimuth Karunaratne. All three batsmen are left handed.
Collins’ special record
Starc has equaled former West Indies fast bowler Pedro Collins in this record. Collins also dismissed the batsman on the first ball thrice in his Test career. The special thing is that Collins did this feat every time against the Hannan government of Bangladesh.
