Indian left-arm fast bowler Barinder Sran picked up four wickets for 10 against Zimbabwe in the second T20 to square the series.

It was the second best effort by a debutant T20 bowler.

Here we look at other such efforts by players in their maiden T20 match.

DAVID WARNER

The Aussie’s 89 from 43 balls against South Africa in 2009 launched a prolific career. Warner has transformed himself into a world class Test batsman too.

ELIAS SUNNY

Bangladesh’s left-arm spinner has not become a household name. But he did grab headlines by picking up 5 wickets for just 13 runs against Ireland in 2012.

RICKY PONTING

The Aussie had already become an all-time great batsman in 2005. And just to make sure, he smashed 98 not out off 55 balls against the Kiwis in his T20 debut.

AJANTHA MENDIS

He burst onto the international scene as a mystery bowler. Zimbabwe stood no chance as the Sri Lankan finger spinner snared four wickets for 15 in 2008.
