Sanjay Yadav had a closer miss. He took 9-52 vs Nagaland in this match
Last wicket was taken by Abhay Negi
This is more sadder as it was Sanjay's debut firstclass match. Fancy taking all 10 wickets on firstclass debut. But i am pretty sure that this is the best bowling in an innings on firstclass debut
It seems that i was very much wrong! I checked on Ask Steven facebook page and many users commented that there has been better firstclass debut bowling figures, including couple of 10 wickets
Albert Moss took 10-28 on firstclass debut
Delmont Hinds took 10-36 in a 12 a-side match
For India, the best bowling on first class debut is 9-35 by Vasant Ranjane in this match

I wish Abhay Negi and Bishworjit Konthoujam had played like Javagal Srinath and allowed Rex and Sanjay to pick all 10 wickets. But, i know nothing about the actual match situation, so unfair of me to expect this from Abhay and Bishworjit
So, as of now, the following legends have no new company

P Sunderam 10-78 [ Ranji Trophy] for Rajasthan Vs Vidharbha in this match
DS Mohanty 10-46 for East Zone Vs South Zone (Duleep Trophy) in this match
