Ajaz Patel rose to the top of an elite bowling list during the third India-New Zealand Test match in Mumbai.
The last time New Zealand toured India and played a Test match in Mumbai, his city of birth, Ajaz rewrote history books by taking all ten wickets in an innings. Now, playing just his second Test at the Wankhede Stadium, he has made another significant record his own, surpassing Ian Botham to become the highest wicket-taker at a single Indian venue in Test matches, among overseas bowlers.
Ajaz took 5-103 in the first innings of the ongoing Mumbai Test, restricting India's lead to 28 runs. In the second, defending a low total of 146, Patel led the way for New Zealand, picking four quick wickets, three of which came in the space of eight deliveries to give India a major scare heading into lunch on day three.
