23. The Indian team is the first to get bowled out twice on the same day in Tests

Hazare Bowled

Only three teams in the history of the game were bowled out twice on the same day in Tests. The Indian cricket team is the first to face this humiliation. The incident took place when the side toured England in 1952 under the captaincy of Vijay Hazare.

In the first innings, they were bowled out for 58 runs followed by 82 runs in the second innings. The duo of Alec Bedser (7/46) and Fred Trueman (9/40) picked 16 wickets between them to achieve a unique feat.

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are the other two teams to have faced this embarrassment. Zimbabwe is the only team to have got bowled out on the same day twice - both against New Zealand. The first of such instance took place in 2005 while the same incident repeated in 2012. Afghanistan, in their maiden Test against India, were bowled out twice on the same day.
