Question = Who is the only bowler to have got the wicket off the 0th
ball of his T20I career ?
Answer = Virat Kohli . He dismissed Kevin
Pietersen off his very first delivery in T20 Internationals at Manchester in
2011. The ball was called a wide so it was not a legitimate delivery.
England needed
110 from 78 balls when Dhoni threw the ball to Virat Kohli — perhaps the most
famous of cricketers who had modelled his action on Chris Harris (well, at
least it looked like it). Kohli had not bowled before. He did not bowl a
proper delivery first up, either. It was a wide down leg. Was it intentional?
One could never tell. Whatever it was, it had found Pietersen outside the
crease, and Dhoni, despite having a terrible summer behind the stumps till
then, whipped the bails off in a flash.
Kohli had started his T20I bowling
career with a wide. His career figures read 0.0-0-0-1 at this
stage, which is unprecedented in any international format of the sport.
