Felicitating New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel at Wankhede stadium for his heroics during the second Test match against India is a memory that Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will keep for a long time, says cricket body's president Vijay Patil. The Mumbai-born 34-year-old Ajaz became only the third bowler in Test history after Jim Laker (1956) and Anil Kumble (1999) to take all 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match, earlier this month at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

An avid patron of sports, Patil lavished praise on New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel after he handed over the '10-wicket' ball and his autographed 'T-shirt' he wore in the second Test match for the MCA's museum.
