Ajaz Patel Opens Up About His 'Special' 10-fer, Says He Was Under Pressure After Picking The 9th Wicket
New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel reflected on his 10 wickets in a Test innings against India in the second Test at Mumbai, saying that it was quite a special occasion not only for him but for his family as well. The Mumbai-born Patel became just the third bowler after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take 10 wickets in a Test match innings when India were bowled out for 325 in the first innings. Patel finished with jaw-dropping figures of 10/119 from 47.5 overs.
"It was quite a special occasion, pretty cool for me, but especially for my family. The amount of support I've received from them over the years to be able to do what I do, it's quite special to see the joy that it has brought to them. I thought the boys bowled really well, I guess it was fated that things were meant to happen at my end on the day," said Patel on Mornings with Ian Smith show on SENZ.
