Auqib Nabi endured a forgettable international debut for India, recording unwanted bowling milestones during his maiden appearance.

According to Cricbuzz, Nabi finished his spell conceding the most runs by an Indian bowler on ODI debut.

His economy rate stood at 9.51 runs per over throughout the contest.

Statistics further confirmed that this performance marks the worst economy rate by an Indian bowler in an ODI debut among those who have delivered at least 30 balls.

The debutant struggled to stem the boundary flow as opposing batters capitalized on his deliveries.

The tough outing leaves the young bowler with plenty to ponder as he looks to rebound from this baptism of fire.

Coaches and analysts will closely evaluate his spell to address the tactical adjustments needed for future international fixtures.

Nabi will now focus on regaining his rhythm in domestic circuits following this harsh introduction to top-tier cricket.
