Former India head coach Ravi Shastri also lauded New Zealand spinner Ejaz Patel for taking all ten wickets in the first innings of the ongoing second Test at the Wankhede Stadium.

Ajaz Patel on Saturday became the third bowler in the history of the game to take all 10 wickets in a Test inning.
He achieved this feat against India in the ongoing second Test match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Patel returned with figures of 10-119 and as a result, India was bowled out for 325 in the first innings. Mayank Agarwal scored the highest 150 runs.
Earlier, Australia’s Jim Laker was the first cricketer to scalp 10 wickets in a Test innings in 1956 and that was followed by India’s Anil Kumble in 1999 against Pakistan.
