Ajaz Patel marks his name in cricket history, becoming just the third bowler to take all 10 wickets in a test innings against India
Ajaz Patel became just the third bowler in cricket history to take all 10 wickets in a test innings after taking 10-119 for New Zealand against India in Mumbai, the city where he was born.
The 33-year-old Patel took four wickets on day one and added another six on day two – two in his first over of the day and another four after lunch, as India was dismissed for 325 in the series-deciding test at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.“To be honest, it's pretty surreal, I don’t think you ever believe you are going to achieve something like that,” Patel said while adding that doing such a thing in his career is pretty special.
"It’s just about finding good rhythm and just being repetitive, asking good questions of the batters,” he added. Patel is playing in his 11th test. In his previous 10, he had taken just 29 wickets across 18 innings, but now has 39 in 19.Jim Laker, for England against Australia in 1956, and Anil Kumble, for India against Pakistan in 1999, were the only bowlers to have previously taken all 10 wickets in a test innings.Welcome to the club
