10 wicket haul in Test cricket: Twitter reactions on Ajaz Patel creating history with 10-wicket haul in Mumbai Test

10 wicket haul in Test cricket: The spinner from New Zealand has become only the third bowler to pick 10 wickets in a Test innings.

During the second day of the second Test of the ongoing New Zealand’s tour of India in Mumbai, New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel has created history by becoming only the third bowler to pick 10 wickets in a Test innings.

It all happened in the 110th over of the Indian innings when Mohammed Siraj’s (4) attempt of slogging Patel across the line saw him mis-timing the ball in the air on the leg-side.

Patel has joined former England spinner Jim Laker and former India captain Anil Kumble in the list of three bowlers who have picked such a milestone previously in the history of cricket.

Patel, who was introduced into the attack as a first-change bowler in the seventh over on Day 1, had picked four wickets yesterday. Having bowled more than one-third the overs bowled by all other bowlers, a determined Patel continued to bowl tight lines and lengths to become a cause of concern for the Indian batters.

Making the most of the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium assisting in some turn since the first day, Patel ended up registering bowling figures of 47.5-12-119-10.
