The New Zealand all-rounder Ajaz Patel has entered into history books after a remarkable bowling display against India as he took all 10 wickets in the first innings.

Patel has become only the third player in the 144-year history of Test cricket to achieve this feat after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble.

Playing his 11th Test match for the Kiwis, Patel bowled a total of 47.5 overs, which included 12 maidens, and conceded only 119 runs.

Here is the list of players he dismissed in the first innings of the second Test match between both teams:

1. Mayank Agarwal — Caught behind

2. Shubman Gill Caught out

3. Cheteshwar Pujara — Bowled

4. Virat Kohli Leg before

5. Shreyas Iyer Caught behind

6. Wriddhiman SahaLeg before

7. Ravichandran Ashwin — Bowled

8. Axar Patel — Leg before

9. Jayant Yadav — Caught out

10. Mohammed Siraj — Caught out

The only player to survive was Umesh Yadav, who faced only two deliveries and remained not out on naught. If Patel dismisses Yadav in the second innings, he will become the first bowler to dismiss all 11 batsmen in a Test match in the last 20 years.
