When the most 'scary' debut happened at Chepauk, Viv Richards' legs started trembling in front of a 19-year-old boy, the 'great record' has been standing for 36 years

Cricket News Desk. The Indian team is currently playing a test match against Bangladesh at Chepauk. Where many records are being seen and the noise is at its peak. Sometimes Bumrah's entry into a special club and sometimes Ashwin's historic century. Meanwhile, we thought that we would present you a record that may take some time to believe. 36 years ago, a bowler did such a miracle at the Chepauk ground that even the great all-rounder Kapil Dev cried.

A miraculous record was made in the debut match itself

The year was 1988, when Team India came to Chepauk ground with many big names including Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri. They were facing West Indies, a team which was feared all over the world at that time because it had the great Viv Richards. Indian team captain Ravi Shastri gave an innocent 19-year-old boy a chance to debut against the deadly team. We are talking about Narendra Hirwani, whom the West Indies legends might have thought of as an inexperienced kid.

Vivian Richards got down on his knees twice

India scored 382 runs in the first innings. But West Indies captain Richards was tension free as the left-handed batsman led his team. But who knew that a 19-year-old boy would eliminate him and his team. After finishing the job of opener, Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri might have considered themselves the hero of the match, but when it was Hirwani's turn, he did not give the veterans a chance to take wickets. In the first innings, Hirwani dismissed 8 batsmen including Vivian Richards.

He took 16 wickets in the entire match

After getting all out for 184 in the first innings and losing wickets of big names, Hirwani's terror spread in West Indies. On the other hand, Team India players are not able to believe Hirwani's miracle. India scored 217 runs in the second innings and then came the bowling. Hirwani's spin once again proved beyond the understanding of the batsmen. This time Hirwani did not let Richards cross the double digit mark. Like a pack of cards, West Indies collapsed for 160 runs and Hirwani again took 8 wickets. Due to his magical bowling, he made a record of taking 16 wickets in a Test which still stands today.
