    Black Caps spinner Ajaz Patel has experienced relatively minor fame since becoming the third bowler after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take 10 wickets in a test innings, against India at Mumbai in December 2021

    Black Caps spinner Ajaz Patel has experienced relatively minor fame since becoming the third bowler after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take 10 wickets in a test innings, against India at Mumbai in December 2021


    He returns to the site of his glory, Wankhede Stadium, for the third test starting at 5pm.

    Patel has played nine tests since, but hardly needs 24/7 security.



    New Zealand have a unassailable 2-nil lead in the three-match rubber - only South Africa with a 2-nil win in 2000 have swept India in a home series.
