The New Zeland spinner, Ajaz Patel has written his name in his history in bold letters in the ongoing Test against India in Mumbai as he has become the third bowler in the history of the longest format of the game to take all the ten wickets in an innings, after Anil Kumble and Jim Laker. In the first innings of the Mumbai Test, Ajaz Patel took the wickets of all ten batsmen of Team India.
Ajaz Patel has become the third bowler in the world to take all ten wickets in a single innings, before that feat was done by England’s Jim Laker and legendary Indian bowler, Anil Kumble.

Ajaz Patel in the first innings of the Mumbai Test
- Total Overs: 47.5
- Maiden over: 12
- Runs Given: 119
- Wickets: 10
England’s Jim Laker took ten wickets in an innings against Australia in 1956 as he had bowled 23 maiden overs in 51.2 overs and took 10 wickets for 53 runs. Anil Kumble had achieved the feat against Pakistan in Delhi when he had conceded 74 runs in just 26.3 overs and became the first Indian to do so.
For Ajaz Patel, the Mumbai Test has become more memorable because it’s his birthplace as well. In the same Test, he became the first Kiwi spinner to take five or more wickets in a single innings. Well, now he has taken ten wickets of the innings itself and become the only Kiwi bowler to take more than 9 wickets

Brilliant from Ajaz Patel. One of the best bowling performances by a visiting spinner in India. 6 out of six wkts so far. Bowled in the right areas on a helpful pitch. #NZvIND
