IND vs NZ, 2nd Test: Ajaz Patel hands over his Test jersey and 10-fer ball for MCA museum

Although Team India convincingly won the IND vs NZ 2nd Test, Blackcaps spinner Ajaz Patel still managed to write his name in the history books by becoming only the third bowler in the history of Test cricket to pick up all 10 wickets in an innings. The other players to achieve this stunning feat are Jim Laker and Anil Kumble. Despite Patel's heroics, the Kiwis suffered a disappointing 372-run loss in the Wankhede Test on Monday.

As a result of the New Zealand spinner's staggering achievement, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) felicitated the 33-year old by gifting him a score sheet and a memento to mark the special occasion. He then also donated his 10-fer ball and Test jersey for the proposed MCA museum.

These kinds of things don't really sink in too late. Obviously, it's a special moment. I am not gonna lie about it. It is special for me. I met my family, my mom and dad, wife. It's neither easy being a cricketer, spending a lot of time away from home. Coming back home to Mumbai, to Wankhede and producing something like this is quite special. I am grateful to God that he blessed me with such an occasion."
