3rd Test: Ajaz Patel Continues His Special Relationship With Wankhede With A Five-for
Ajaz Patel: New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel continued his special relationship with the city where he was born as he claimed a five-wicket haul on Saturday to add to the historic 10 wickets in an innings that he bagged in 2021 at the Wankhede Stadium.
Patel took 10/119 on his first visit to Mumbai from where he migrated to New Zealand as an eight-year-old boy, becoming only the third bowler in the history of the game to claim all 10 wickets in an innings, after legends Jim Laker of England and Anil Kumble of India.
On Saturday on the second day of the third Test, Patel proved why he loves the pitch at Wankhede by claiming 5-103 to help New Zealand end India's first innings at 263, restricting the hosts' lead to just 28 runs. Patel showed great character as he came back strongly after being mauled by Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill on the second morning of the third Test.
