Bosch made his debut against Pakistan

Corbin Bosch made his debut against Pakistan last year at Centurion where he took a four-wicket haul and scored 81 runs. However, he got out on a duck in the second innings and took one wicket.

Bosch etched his name in the record books

Bosch also etched his name in the record books by becoming the first player in Test cricket history to take four or more wickets in an innings and score 80 or more runs in each of his first two Tests. He is only the second cricketer to achieve this feat on Test debut, following New Zealand’s Bruce Taylor, who scored 105 runs and took a five-wicket haul against India at Eden Gardens, Kolkata in 1965.

Bosch is the joint second-fastest to achieve this rare feat

Bosch is the joint second-fastest to achieve this rare feat, alongside Jack Gregory, Roston Chase, and Brian Bennett. Among pace bowlers, he is the first in 60 years to accomplish this milestone since Bruce Taylor.

Bosch is the first South African to achieve this feat

Bosch is the first South Africa’s cricketer to achieve the feat after 23 years after Jacques Kallis. While Kallis has done it twice, Bosch is the first player to achieve this in an away fixture.
