Ajaz Patel Creates History in Mumbai, Scores Perfect 10; Watch The Fall Of Indian Wickets

New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel became only the third bowler in the entire history of Cricket who took 10 wickets in a Test match inning. Only Jim Laker and Anil Kumble have done this before. England’s Jim Laker took 10 wickets against Australia at Manchester on 26 July 1956. Whereas, Indian legend spinner the great Anil Kumble took 10 wickets against Pakistan at Delhi on 4th February 1999. Now, Ajaz Patel has taken 10 Indian wickets that too in India. That’s a commendable feat.

Whereas, Ajaz Patel bowled 47.5 overs and spent 119 runs. However, these are irrelevant because scoring a perfect 10 is one of the rarest events in Cricket history.
