    Tom Hartley breaks records with his seven-fer on Test debut

    What's the story

    Tom Hartley starred in England's record-breaking win over India in the 1st Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

    He took a seven-fer as England stopped India from chasing 231 on Day 4.

    India were bowled out for 202, with Hartley taking the final wicket in the form of Mohammed Siraj.

    He recorded the best figures for an England spinner on Test debut.

    Figures

    Hartley takes nine wickets on Test debut 

    Hartley, who made his Test debut, was expensive in the first innings (2/131).

    The England spinner leveled up in the second, scalping six wickets. He dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma in quick succession.

    The left-arm spinner completed his fifer after dismissing Axar Patel and KS Bharat. He then removed R Ashwin and Siraj.

    Hartley returned with 7/62 (26.2) in England's defense.

    Record

    Best figures for an England spinner on debut since 1945 

    As per Cricbuzz, Hartley has registered the best bowling figures for an England spinner on Test debut (since 1945, the post-war era). His tally of nine wickets is the joint-most since 1950 when Robert Berry took 9/116 against West Indies in Manchester.

    Feats

    Hartley attains these feats 

    Hartley has become only the third spinner to take a seven-wicket haul on Test debut on Indian soil. He joins Australia's Jason Krejza (8/215 in 2008) and Todd Murphy (7/124 in 2023).

    Hartley now has the second-best Test innings figures for a spinner on debut (in India).

    Interestingly, only one other bowler has over five wickets in this regard (Amir Hamza: 5/74 in 2019).

    Information

    Hartley goes past legends

    As per ESPNcricinfo, Hartley has registered the second-best bowling innings figures for England in India on Test debut. He is only behind John Lever (7/46 in 1976). They are the only two England bowlers with a seven-fer in this regard.

    Match

    England win in Hyderabad after conceding 190-run lead 

    England were bowled out for 246, batting first. Ben Stokes's 70(88) fueled England's innings.

    India topped it by compiling 436. Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja slammed fifties. Joe Root took four wickets.

    England ruled in the second innings (420), with Ollie Pope missing his double-ton. Jasprit Bumrah scalped a four-fer.

    Hartley took a seven-fer as England won in the final over (Day 4).
