Such was the performance of Ejaz in the match
Ejaz Patel bowled 47.5 overs in the first innings of the second test and took all 10 wickets for 119 runs. Ejaz Patel became the third bowler after former cricketer Jim Laker (1956) and Anil Kumble (1999) to do so. He took 4 wickets in the second innings of this match. He bowled brilliantly, taking a total of 14 wickets.
Ejaz went to New Zealand from India as a child
Ejaz Patel was born in the Indian city of Mumbai. He was just 8 years old when the family moved from Mumbai to New Zealand. Ajaz Patel’s historic performance and a 14-wicket haul was not enough to help New Zealand avoid a 372-run loss and lose the series 1-0. However, Ashwin heaped praise on the left-arm spinner, saying that destiny also played its part in his achievement.
