Ajaz Patel returned 10/119, after having bowled a staggering 47.5 overs out of the 109.5 in India’s first-innings effort of 325 in the second Test in Mumbai. The left-arm spinner smashed various records during his historic spell, which was concluded with the wicket of Mohammed Siraj to end India's first innings at 325.
Legends of the game, including Anil Kumble, who achieved the feat back in 1999 against Pakistan in Delhi, were in all praise for the Mumbai-born cricketer.
Legend himself appreciates Ajaz Patel!
