IND vs NZ: Ajaz Patel emulates Laker, Kumble with historic 10-wicket haul

New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel (Ajaz Patel) became the only bowler in Test cricket history to score 10 wickets in a game. The left arm spinner achieved this feat in the second test of the series against India in Mumbai.

Patel joined England’s Jim Lakers and India’s Anil Kambre to become the only third bowler-all spinners-to score 10 wickets in the test round.

Patel scored 47.5 points in the first game of the Mumbai Test and conceded 119 goals from his ten goals. By the way, India’s Anil Kumble was the last pitcher to score 10 wickets. He achieved this feat in a test against Pakistan in Delhi in 1999.

The left-arm player completed four wickets on the first day of the test and continued his wonderful run in the morning of the second day. Although the prices of other spinners were much higher in comparison, Patel remained tense in his last moments and continued to deal regular blows to the Indian Bureau. Starting from the 85th inning of the Indian game, Ajaz Patel played a marathon until he was eliminated in 325 innings-during this period, he won three wickets, including Centurion Long Mayank Agarwal’s wicket, who scored a gritty 150.

Earlier on the first day, Ajaz shocked the Indian game with three quick wickets of Shubman Gill (44), Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli (all 0). Although Mayank fought back for India with Shreyas Iyer and Wriddhiman Saha for the rest of the day, Ajaz still absorbed the pressure from one end to prevent India from completely dominating the game of the day.

In the morning meeting, the spinner directly used Saha (27) and Ashwin (0)’s wickets to put India under pressure, and then ended India’s tail after lunch. With the final dismissal of Mohamed Siraj, Ajaz joined the elite clubs represented by the Lakers and Kambre.

Ajaz’s statistics are rightly New Zealand’s best bowler. The New Zealander’s previous best result was 9/52, which was achieved by the great Richard Headley in the 1985 game against Australia. Needless to say, Ajaz Patel broke multiple records with his incredible feats in Mumbai.

The following is a list of records he broke in 10 games:

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
