Such was Ajaz Patel's performance that former India opener Virender Sehwag told the spinner that his feat has overshadowed India's win and wished him luck for future endeavors.

Ajaz Patel etched his name in the history books as he went to become the third bowler to scalp all the ten wickets in a Test innings, joining Jim Laker and Anil Kumble in the list. The Kiwi spinner recorded the feat in the second and final Test between India and New Zealand in Mumbai, which saw the hosts secure a resounding a 372 runs win over the Black Caps.
