2018 has been another phenomenal year for Test cricket especially for the bowlers where India's pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, and Mohammad Shami scripted a landmark year for Indian cricket. India that ended 2018 with a big 137-runs win against Australia in Boxing Day Test at Melbourne, the pace trio played a vital role in that who helped India to retain Border-Gavaskar trophy with one to play.

Jasprit Bumrah who debuted against South Africa in January 2017, has touched new height in Test cricket. He has been going to man for Virat Kohli not only in Test cricket but all three formats. Talking about the records both Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have ruled 2018 with bat and ball.



Here is the list of TOP 5 bowler with most Test wicket in debut year:

1. Terry Alderman (AUS, 54 Wickets, 1981) - Australia's former right-arm fast-medium bowler who took 170 wickets in 41 Tests for Australia made his Test debut against England in 1981 and made his own with taking 54 wickets in 10 matches. His record of taking 54 wickets in debut year is yet to be broken. In the 1981 Ashes series he took 42 Test wickets, including nine on debut, the biggest haul in a series since Jim Laker's 46 in 1956 and the fourth-highest total of all time.

2. Curtly Ambrose (WI, 49 Wickets, 1988) - Sir Curtly Ambrose has been one of the greatest bowlers of all time that world cricket has ever seen. Sir Ambrose made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1988 and went on to become the colossus of West Indies bowling in the 90s. He took 49 wickets in 11 Tests in 1988 which is the second highest by any bowler in his debut year. In 12 years of Test career, Sir Ambrose played 98 Tests for Windies and took 405 wickets with an average of 20.99.



3. Jasprit Bumrah (IND, 48 Wickets, 2018) - Jasprit Bumrah is the new sensation in world cricket today. With his unorthodox action, he has become very hard to play for any batsman and with time passing, he is becoming even more lethal. In his debut series against South Africa in South Africa, he took 14 wickets in 3 matches and AB de Villiers was his first Test wicket. He carried that form into England series and took the same number of wickets in the last 3 Tests, unfortunately, he couldn't play first two matches due to injury. And now in ongoing series against Australia down under, he is the leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets in 3 matches. With 6 for 33 in 3rd Test in Melbourne, he became the first Asian bowler to take 5-fer against SA, ENG, and AUS in overseas in a calendar year. In 18 innings of 9 matches, he has taken 48 wickets with an average of 21.02.

4. Steven Finn (ENG, 46 Wickets, 2010) - Steven Finn's career has been affected by injuries and fitness has been the biggest concern for the English pacer. However, he last played a Test in 2016, shone in his debut year of 2010 where he grabbed 46 wickets in 11 matches. In 36 Tests so far he has taken 125 wickets with an average of 30.41.

5. Roy Tattersall (ENG, 44 Wickets, 1951) - Roy Tattersall was an English Right arm off break bowler who played only 16 Tests and took 58 wickets in which 44 came in his debut year (1951) in 12 matches. Despite his impressive record in first-class cricket (328 matches, 1369 wickets) Tattersall made only two further appearances in Test cricket in 1953 against Australia and in 1954 against Pakistan.
