Wicket off the first ball of Test career! South Africa's Corbin Bosch strikes gold on debut against Pakistan

South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch made a dream start to his Test career on Thursday, claiming a wicket with his very first delivery in the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan at SuperSport Park, Centurion. Bosch etched his name in cricket history by dismissing Shan Masood off his first delivery in the debut match.

Coming into the attack in the 15th over after Pakistan openers Shan Masood and Saim Ayub provided a steady start, Bosch delivered a ball pitched up and angled across outside off.

The Pakistan skipper departed for 17 runs off 58 balls, which included two boundaries.
