3rd highest Ashwin

Hirwani took 16 in his debut test, but that was the last match of the series! Looking at number of wickets alone, he held the record for most wickets by an Indian in debut series :) To add further, he had 36 wicket after 4 tests! Imagine someone having those insane numbers these days! Will be a superstar and land ad contracts worth crores.

But why Hirwani's name is not there, while Prasad and Shastri with 15 wickets each find a place?

But why Hirwani's name is not there' date=' while Prasad and Shastri with 15 wickets each find a place?[/quote'] I think it's a list of players who played all 3 matches of a series. Hirwani played only 1 match in the series - his test debut was in the last match of the series where he took 16 wickets.

I copied it from here : http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/364770.html#table15 As you can see that it is not like other records of cricinfo which get updated regularly rather it has been written separately by Travis Basevi.

Who all have won a MoS in their debut series? Remember Dada winning it in England. Who else? Philander won a MoS in his debut series as well.

Yeah, I know. But technically speaking that was his debut series and he took those 16 wickets. Anyways some goof up.
