In a turn of events, the X post not only unveiled the answer to this captivating question but also shed light on three more remarkable instances with similar themes. Responding to the question, X user Pathik Joshi provided a comprehensive answer: “Ravichandran Ashwin holds the distinction of being the first Indian bowler and the fifth in the world to achieve this unique feat.

As the conversation unfolded, Prathik Joshi shared further insights in a subsequent tweet: “The list of bowlers who have achieved this feat also includes Ian Botham & Wasim Akram, both of whom dismissed Lance & Chris Cairns, and Mitchell Starc & Simon Harmer, who achieved the same feat against Shivnarine & Tagenarine Chanderpaul.”
