New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel registered his name in the history books of cricket by becoming only the third bowler to take all 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble.

He achieved the feat on the second day of the second Test against India in Mumbai. He dismissed Mohammed Siraj as India’s last wicket and received grand applause from all spectators at the Wankhede Stadium and also the Indian dressing room.

In the process, he also registered the best bowling figure for a New Zealand bowler beating the previous record of Sir Richard Hadlee, who had taken nine wickets for 52 runs.

In the process, he also registered the best bowling figure for a New Zealand bowler betaing the previous record of Sir Richard Hadlee, who had taken nine wickets for 52 runs.

He was born in Mumbai before his parent moved out of the city and country to New Zealand. He had talked about the nostalgia and emotions he felt while coming back to Mumbai which is called “maximum city” and he lived that spirit by achieving the maximum success for a bowler.

None of his 10 wickets came through a spell of good luck or on bad deliveries as he was the most threatening bowler among all Kiwi bowlers and a picture-perfect scorecard for him was truly deserving for his marathon efforts where he bowled 47 overs.

Indian team faces backlash on social media as 'injured' Rahane carries drink to the ground

India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane was ruled out of the second match against New Zealand in Mumbai after an apparent hamstring injury. But the fans were left wondering when Rahane was seen carrying drinks during the break on the field. The Indian team was called out by the netizens for the same on Friday, 3 December. Rahane's position in the Test team has been contentious for some time now, with critics stating that the Indian vice-captain has not done enough to get selected over the likes of KL Rahul in the middle order. With Shreyas Iyer scoring a century in the Kanpur Test, theories were flying as to who would get the sack once captain Virat Kohli comes back into the team. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted in the morning of Day 1 of the 2nd Test that Rahane had suffered a hamstring and would be unavailable for the game. Talking about the match, the hosts are in a decent position at the moment, courtesy, a century from opener Mayank Agarwal. India had begun the proceedings pretty well after Mayank and Shubman Gill put up 80 runs on the board for the first wicket before Ajaz Patel removed Gill for 44. The spinner then followed it with the scalps of Cheteshwar Pujara and captain Virat Kohli as the home side was reduced to 80/3. Agarwal was then joined by Shreyas Iyer in the middle and the two batters then steadied the ship for the team and chipped in with an 80-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Iyer was eventually sent back to the pavilion as Patel scalped his fourth wicket of the day. But Mayank along with Wriddhiman Saha made sure that there were no further fall of wickets as India ended the day’s play at 221/4. Agarwal was unbeaten at 120 while Saha was at 25* when the stumps were called. The first match of the two-match series ended in a draw in Kanpur earlier.
