It was a terrible first day for Windies with the bat against New Zealand at Wellington. Facing ruthless pacers like Trent Boult, Matt Henry, and Neil Wagner, the visitors hardly got off to a start and saw wickets tumble in quick succession.

Neil Wagner’s spell of 7-39 remained the highlight for the hosts as they got Windies bundled out for 134. But for debutant Sunil Ambris, the day proved to be the worst. He created an unwanted piece of record with the bat, or rather his leg.

Coming in to bat after the dismissal of Shai Hope, Ambris’ pressure got the better of him as he got out via hit-wicket on the first delivery. He successfully faced Wagner’s delivery and drove it towards the fine leg. But as he played the shot on back-foot, he went a little too further behind his crease and nudged the stumps with his leg, adjudging him out via hit wicket.

With getting out with that fashion, Ambris became the first cricketer to score a golden duck via a hit-wicket on his Test debut. He also became the first Test cricketer to get out by a hit-wicket on a duck in over 14 years. Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh was the last player to get out on a duck in this manner in 2003 against India.

The last batsman to got out on via a hit-wicket on his Test debut was Carlton Baugh, as he got out at 19 against Australia in April 2003.

Here is the video of the most unwanted dismissal of Ambris:
