It's  a bit obscure as this was a county match ,but the pacer is quite well known ,he started his fc career with a hatrick .The english captain also had a good start to his captaincy and had  both good and bad memories of the country against whom they  made their debuts.

No idea about this but a good question nonetheless.

It is Hazare indeed. He had an average of 55+ in 25 Tests going into what turned out to be his last series vs the West Indies. That series turned out to be a shocker where he had just 1 50+ score in 10 innings and finished with an average of 47+ in 30 Tests.

Interesting fact , thanks. I thought maybe it was against Hall and Griffiths but it was much before their debuts,

 

TBF, I think he is Indias first ATG batsman anyway. In Indias all time top 10  and He lost his best years to WW2

@MultiB48 Too tough this again, I am taking a guess with Majid Khan

[SK_IH]

I was one of the most gifted batsman of my generation, however I seldom did justice to my talent and more than handy off spinner. I captained my country in a world cup, which turned out to be my last world cup. My highest score in test match was against India in my hometown.
