Ajaz Patel created history on day 2 of the 2nd test match between India and New Zealand being played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai by picking 10 wickets in an innings. 

The Mumbai-born Kiwi spinner has now become only the third bowler after Jim Lacker(1956) and Anil Kumble(1999) to pick 10 wickets in an innings. Ajaz is the first from New Zealand to achieve this feat, overtaking previous best figures of Richard Hadlee(9/52) vs Australia in 1985. 

Ajaz's 10/119 is the best figure in a Test innings against India. He surpasses Jack Noreiga's 9/95 in Port of Spain back in 1971. His figures are also the best by a visiting spinner in India, overtaking Nathan Lyon's 8/50 in 2017. 

10 wickets in an innings at his city of birth!!
