Azaj became the third bowler to achieve this feat after Jim Laker (10/53), Anil Kumble (10/74). Ajaz's figures in first innings of this Test read: 10/119. 


The 33-year-old left-arm spinner was born in Mumbai and when he was eight, he left the city of his birth. And 25 years later, in front of his parents and extended family, he has achieved what only two other cricketers have achieved since the inception of the sport. 


Recognising his effort, Kumble who achieved the feat at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi in 1999 against Pakistan, sent a congratulatory message to Ajaz. 


He wrote on his Twitter, "Welcome to the club #AjazPatel #Perfect10  Well bowled! A special effort to achieve it on Day1 & 2 of a test match. #INDvzNZ"
