Explanation

Fidel Edwards achieved this rare feat by taking 6 wickets for 62 runs on his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2003. A five-for (5 wickets in an innings) on debut is exceptional - most bowlers never achieve this in their entire career, let alone in their first match. Wasim Akram and Brett Lee were great bowlers but didn't take five-wicket hauls in their ODI debuts.
