Ten wickets in an innings is a stuff of fantasy that has come true only twice before in the 144-year history of Test cricket. For a statistic-heavy sport that cricket is, it is truly a rarest of rare feat. New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, playing in only his 11th Test at 33, achieved the remarkable landmark when he captured all 10 Indian wickets over the first two days of the Wankhede Test on Friday. What makes it even more incredible is that it has come in a city which he’s unafraid of calling his “home” in every media interaction.
