It’s a day to remember for New Zealand and Ajaz Patel as the bowler becomes the third person in the history of cricket to scalp 10 wickets in an innings.
He is also the first Kiwi bowler to do so.

Incredible achievement as Ajaz Patel picks up all 10 wickets in the 1st innings of the 2nd Test.
He becomes the third bowler in the history of Test cricket to achieve this feat.#INDvNZ @Paytm pic.twitter.com/d82XhBapJQ
Interestingly, Mumbai – the city where Ajaz achieved the feat – is also his birth town. His family lived in Maharashtra before moving to New Zealand and if this isn’t a full-circle moment, we don’t know what would be.
What a destiny, born in Mumbai, playing for New Zealand and he had taken #10wickets in Mumbai against India in an innings in Test cricket

Ajaz Yunus Patel, you absolute hero.#INDvNZ🏏🇮🇳🇳🇿#WTC23
Best Test bowling figures in India:
— Kausthub Gudipati (@kaustats) December 4, 2021
10/74 – Anil Kumble v PAK, 1999
10/119 – Ajaz Patel v IND, 2021
9/69 – Jasu Patel v AUS, 1959
This list now has a Patel who did it in just his 11th Test, and another Patel who did it in just his 5th Test.#INDvNZ

Just the 3rd overall in Test Cricket history of 135 years

This is the first innings of the second Test between India and New Zealand. The first Test, played in Kanpur, ended in a tie.
What a series this is turning out to be.
