NZ's Ajaz Patel Creates History! Becomes Third Bowler to Pick All 10 Wickets
The QuintOn Saturday, he wrote his name in the history books on return to his place of birth, claiming the best bowling figures for a Black Caps bowler. In the process, Patel produced the best bowling figures ever in an international match at the Wankhede stadium and also the best bowling figures against India. He was hit quite easily by Mayank Agarwal on the first day as the Indian opener targetted him, but the New Zealander came back strongly to claim two wickets in an over, dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. He was on a hat-trick in his 30th over, claimed two wickets off successive balls in his first over on the second day, trapping overnight batsman Wriddhiman Saha lbw for 27 and castling R Ashwin first ball with one that spun and struck the off-stump.
