The India-Australia ODI series is underway and though the visitors have managed to lose their first game, there have been a few takeaways for them from the match. Other than Rohit Sharma's incredible innings, India have also witnessed the arrival of someone who could be the country's new bowling star, Barinder Sran.The left-arm seamer had an impressive debut match at the WACA stadium in Perth and picked up 3 wickets for 54 runs. Sran had been included into the Indian ODI team based on his recent strong performances in the ongoing domestic season.Barinder Sran's maiden wicket in his very first ODI was that of Aaron Finch, whom he dismissed caught and bowled in his 2nd over. However, this was not the first time an Indian cricketer has picked up his first ODI wicket as caught and bowled.Here are 5 other similar instances:

#1 Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly was a useful bowler in seaming conditions

Arguably one of India’s greatest captains ever, Sourav Ganguly, is one of the few Indian cricketers to have picked his first wicket caught and bowled. Ganguly was by no means a regular bowler for India, but he did bowl a few overs every now and then.

Although his maiden wicket came in an Asia Cup final which the Indian team lost badly, the two special things about it were the man he had dismissed and the mode of dismissal. Sourav Ganguly managed to get rid of none other than Sri Lankan icon Aravinda de Silva and he got him out caught and bowled.
