New Zealand then sees them skittled for 62The New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel has become only the third bowler to pick up all 10 wickets in an innings in international
Cricket, achieving a feat he said was “pretty surreal” against
India in the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The 33-year-old joined the
England off-spinner Jim Laker (1956 against Australia) and the India leg-spinner Anil Kumble (1999 against Pakistan) in picking up all wickets in an innings. The spin-bowling great Kumble, who took 619 Test wickets for India, tweeted: “Welcome to the club Ajaz Patel #Perfect 10. Well bowled! A special effort to achieve it on day one and two of a test match.”
