‘WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WITNESS AJAZ PICKING ALL TEN WICKETS IN AN INNINGS’

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson on Wednesday said that he was fortunate enough to witness spinner Ajaz Patel picking all 10 wickets in a single Test innings.Ajaz had become just the third bowler in the history of the game after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to pick all ten wickets in a single Test innings.

He had achieved the feat against India in the recently-concluded Wankhede Test. “Always a tough series against a quality side, congratulations @indiancricketteam. But a very special moment, or 10 moments to be exact, that we were all fortunate to witness. Incredible achievement @ajazpatel! #10outof10,” Williamson wrote.

Williamson had not played the second Test against India due to an elbow injury.Mayank Agarwal’s heroics with the bat and Jayant Yadav’s four-wicket haul in the second innings helped India defeat New Zealand by 372 runs in the second Test of the two-match series here at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. With this win, India sealed the two-match series 1-0 and now Virat Kohli’s side will head to South Africa for three Tests and three ODIs, beginning December 26. The Test will be remembered for Ajaz Patel’s ten-wicket haul.
