‘A special effort’ – The reactions after Ajaz Patel takes historic 10-for

Mumbai, Dec 4: Ajaz Patel created history on Saturday after he took all 10 wickets in a Test innings, against India in Mumbai. In doing so, he joined an elite club comprising only two other players – England legend Jim Laker and India’s Anil Kumble. In Test cricket’s long history, only three players have managed this feat so far – the tributes that roared in were in keeping with the magnitude of the achievement. Kumble led the plaudits, pointing out that reaching the mark in the first two days of a Test made it that much more special. wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/anilkumble1074/status/1467038083455410185","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/anilkumble1074/status/1467038083455410185 /wp:embed Kumble’s one-time spin partner Harbhajan Singh, and former India coach and all-rounder Ravi Shastri, also lauded Patel. wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/harbhajan_singh/status/1467036693291147265","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/harbhajan_singh/status/1467036693291147265 /wp:embed wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RaviShastriOfc/status/1467036194131169281","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/RaviShastriOfc/status/1467036194131169281 /wp:embed wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bazmccullum/status/1467034229930283013","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/Bazmccullum/status/1467034229930283013 /wp:embed wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/VVSLaxman281/status/1467038664668577793","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/VVSLaxman281/status/1467038664668577793 /wp:embed wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KP24/status/1467052061644763138","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/KP24/status/1467052061644763138 /wp:embed
