South Africa vs Pakistan Corbin Bosch: At this time you may be busy watching the India and Australia match. You may be talking about it after the day is over, but meanwhile another test match is going on, in which new records are being made. This is the South Africa vs Pakistan first test, which is going on in Centurion. Corbin Bosch, who made his Test debut for South Africa, did wonders. He first showed his magic in bowling and then when it came to batting, he dominated there too. This is the first time in the history of South African Test cricket that such a feat has happened.

Boxing Day Test is being played between South Africa and Pakistan

The Pakistan team is currently on the tour of South Africa, where the two-Test series is going on. The first match of the series started from 26 December, i.e. the day the fourth Test between India and Australia started in Melbourne. Although according to Indian time this match starts at 1:30 in the day, but due to India vs Australia match, this match is not getting much attention at least in India, but this match is very important. This match is being played under the World Test Championship. The win or loss of this match will also have a huge impact on the health of the Indian team, which is currently struggling to enter the WTC finals. This match is also becoming very interesting.

Corbin Bosch stunned Pakistan in his debut

If we talk about the match, then the Pakistani team, batting first in the match, had scored a decent score of 211 runs. However, the biggest contribution in making Pakistan’s situation worse was from Corbin Bosch, who is debuting for South Africa. In his very first match, he showed the way to the pavilion by giving away 63 runs in 15 overs to four players of Pakistan. They made Captain Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel, Aamer Jamal and Naseem Shah their victims. From this we can understand what kind of bowling he was bowling. The story of Corbin Bosch does not end here, when South Africa came to bat, he created a stir.

Hit a fifty while batting at number 9.

Even in front of a small score of Pakistan, at one time the South African team was struggling for runs. South Africa’s seven wickets had fallen at 191 runs. At that time it seemed that Pakistani bowlers would soon dismiss all the players. But Corbin Bosch took charge at one end. He came to bat at number 9. He scored a brilliant half-century and also gave lead to the team which was lagging. First he partnered with Kagiso Rabada and after his dismissal he also partnered with Dane Patterson. Corbin Bosch has now become the first player in the history of South African cricket to take 4 wickets in his debut Test and then also play an inning of more than 50 runs. Thanks to his innings, the South African team now seems to be in a strong position.

Corbin Bosch also made this record

The story of Corbin Bosch’s record does not end here. Now he has become the highest scoring batsman by making his Test debut at number nine. He played a brilliant inning of 81 runs on 93 balls. During this period, 15 fours came from his bat. In the same year, Sri Lanka’s Milan Rathnayake scored 72 runs in his Test debut while batting at number 9. That means, now Milan Rathnayake’s record has been destroyed by Corbin Bosch. The interesting thing is that the 41 year old record of India’s Balwinder Singh Sandhu has been broken twice this year. Balwinder Singh Sandhu made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1983 and scored an inning of 71 runs. He also came to bat at number 9.
