New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel created history at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday when he picked up Mohd Siraj’s wicket to scalp all 10 wickets in India’s first innings of the second Test.
With it, Ajaz became only the third bowler to pick up all 10 wickets in an innings in international cricket.
The 33-year-old joined England off-spinner Jim Laker (1956 against Australia) and India leg-spinner Anil Kumble (1999 against Pakistan) in picking up all wickets in an innings.
Mumbai-born left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, whose parents emigrated to New Zealand in 1996, added six wickets to the four he took on the first day on Friday to finish with figures of 10-119.
Former Indian skipper Anil Kumble was among the first to congratulate Ajaz on his feat. Kumble welcomed him to the elite club on Twitter and called it a “special effort”
Welcome to the club #AjazPatel #Perfect10 Well bowled! A special effort to achieve it on Day1 & 2 of a test match. #INDvzNZ
