But ajaz

New Zealand: New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel had another memorable performance in the city of his birth – taking 11 wickets overall – to play the leading role in the visitors’ completing the 3-0 series win over India at the Wankhede Stadium.

At one point, the win seemed distant from New Zealand as wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was waging a lone battle. But Ajaz eventually found the spike on Pant’s bat through a turning in delivery taking a glove edge to the keeper’s gloves.

"(Pant) He's batted phenomenally throughout the series, I had to think out of the box and made sure to come up with a new plan and stay ahead of him," said Ajaz after getting Player of the Match award.
