Ajaz Patel becomes third bowler in Tests to take all 10 wickets in an innings.

Ajaz Patel became the third cricketer to scalp all 10 wickets in an innings as New Zealand bundled out India for 325 on the second day of the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday 04 December 2021.

The left-arm spinner took all 10 wickets to fall in the hosts’ first innings, just the third time that feat has been achieved in the 144-year history of test cricket. He was the first to do it in the first innings of a test.

Jim Laker, for England against Australia in Manchester in 1956, and Anil Kumble, for India against Pakistan in Delhi in 1999, were the only bowlers to have previously managed it. Laker took 10-53, while Kumble took 10-74.
