Ajaz Patel took all 10 wickets in a Test innings against India in 2021.
The New Zealand left-arm spinner achieved the feat in the first innings of the second Test at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, beginning on 3 December 2021. He finished with 10 for 119 from 47.5 overs as India were dismissed for 325.
Patel became only the third bowler to take all 10 wickets in a men’s Test innings, following England’s Jim Laker in 1956 and India’s Anil Kumble in 1999. He also became the first New Zealand bowler to accomplish it and the first of the trio to do so in the first innings of a match.
Despite Patel’s historic performance, New Zealand lost heavily: India won by 372 runs and took the two-match series 1–0. Patel finished the match with 14 for 225. He was born in Mumbai, making the setting of his record especially notable.
