Mumbai-born Ajaz Patel scripted history by being the third player to scalp a 10-wicket haul. He achieved this feat on day two of the second Test match between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. No sooner Patel scalped the last wicket, records broke in galore for the Kiwi spinner. Needless to say that the netizens hailed the Kiwi spinner for the feat. The likes of Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Wasim Jaffer, VVS Laxman and others took to social media to hail the Kiwi spinner.

Day 2 began with India losing a couple of early wickets. But just when we thought that Ajaz Patel has run through the tail of the Indian batting order, we had Mayank Agarwal and Axar Patel who continued to display resilience. Agarwal scored 152 and Axar Patel also scored a half-century but that surely didn't stop Ajaz Patel from achieving the 10-wicket haul. Now, let's have a look at the reactions below.

Brilliant from Ajaz Patel. One of the best bowling performances by a visiting spinner in India. 6 out of six wkts so far. Bowled in the right areas on a helpful pitch. #NZvIND

One of the toughest things to do in the game of cricket. To have an entire team in your kitty in an innings is too good to be true. Simply unreal. Well done young man - Ajaz Patel #INDvzNZ#AjazPatelpic.twitter.com/M81eUeSrX4
