Indian origin left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel who is representing the blackcaps New Zealand broke the back of the Indian team in the ongoing second test. He scripted history and made a massive world record on his name with his heroics with the ball that made him join the elite list that includes veteran Indian spin wizard Anil Kumble.
As a historic moment, Ajaz Patel had claimed all the ten wickets and entered the record books. All the ten wickets fell to him and he emerged as the third spinner to take the ten wickets in a single inning. Before him, Jim Laker of the English team and India's veteran spinner Anil Kumble held the record.

Veteran Kiwi speedster Richard Headley who was widely regarded as one of the best all-rounders of his time was now in second place in terms of New Zealand players who claimed nine wickets by conceding just 52 runs against mighty Australia.
