Does Mark Wood hold the record for the best figures on IPL debut?
And who has the highest individual score on IPL debut?
The England fast bowler Mark Wood took 5 for 14 - his best figures in all T20 cricket - for Lucknow Super Giants against Delhi Capitals in Lucknow last weekend. However, it wasn't Wood's IPL debut - he played one match for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians in 2018 (he failed to take a wicket, and his four overs cost 49).
That six-packed 92 from Ruturaj Gaikwad for Chennai Super Kings against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad the other day was actually the third-highest individual score in the opening match of an IPL season. Back in April 2008, in the very first IPL game of all, Brendon McCullum lit up the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru with an undefeated 158 (still the second-highest in IPL history) for Kolkata Knight Riders against RCB. And in 2015, Rohit Sharma made 98 not out in the opening match for Mumbai Indians against KKR in Kolkata.
Kyle Mayers hit 73 in his first match for Super Giants against Delhi Capitals in Lucknow at the weekend. That's the highest score on IPL debut by anyone since the Brendon McCullum innings mentioned above - 158 not out for KKR against RCB in Bangalore in 2008, in the very first IPL match of all.
At the moment there are three men who have scored five Test centuries, all of them on home soil: the old England captain Stanley Jackson, whose five hundreds all came against Australia, India's Chandu Borde, and the current Australian batter Travis Head, who will no doubt be hoping to escape this particular list during the Ashes series in England later this year.
If I've understood the question correctly, the answer is 7 - when South Africa were bowled out by England for 30 at Edgbaston in 1924, the highest individual contribution was 7, by their captain Herbie Taylor.
