: 1989   Test debut of Waqar Younis and Sachin Tendulkar at Karachi
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Arguably the world's best batsman and the world's best bowler. Both making
their debut in the same match. Any other "valuable" pairs making debut in
the same match?

I think both Viv Richards and Gordon Greenidge both made their test debut
in 1974 Bangalore test against India

Such pairs, I am not sure. But look at this. Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge
and Andy Roberts in the '74 test at Bangalore against India. Roberts was
the fastest at that time, Viv was famous already. And Greenidge? some 93
and 107 on debut.
