Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell believes he jinxed Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed's ten-wicket haul in the second Test against England, currently being played in Multan.

Everyone was astonished by the mystery spinner's superb bowling as he claimed seven wickets in the first innings on his debut.

Maxwell predicted that Abrar might have a 10-wicket haul after taking his seventh wicket in the innings.

Only three cricketers have taken all ten wickets in an inning. The illusive list includes Anil Kumble of India, Jim Laker of England, and Ajaz Patel of New Zealand.

Abrar's 7-114 let Pakistan restrict England to 281 runs during the first innings. Pakistan lose early wicket of Imam-ul-Haq for a duck.
