5 Players who won the Man of the match on Test debut against India

South Africa wrapped up the Test series against India with a match to play.

Franklyn Rose (West Indies, 1997)

Franklyn Rose was ecstatic after getting his maiden wicket.

Controversial West Indies pace bowler, Franklyn Rose played his first test match against India in the opening Test of India's tour of West Indies 1996/97.

In his very first attempt, Rose ran through the strong Indian batting line-up and took six wickets. On a typical slow pitch of Sabina Park, Kingston, the fast bowler particularly troubled the batsman with his trademark full-length out swinging delivery.

In a somewhat short international career of three years, the Jamaican hugely disappointed with his bowling performances. He could only take one more five-for after the heroics of debut Test and dropped for good in 2000.
