Ajaz Patel’s heroics a memory Mumbai cricket will remember for long: MCA chief Patil

After picking all 10 wickets in an inning, New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel is the buzz. The left-arm spinner had joined the elite list with Anil Kumble and Jim Laker of picking all 10 wickets.

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Vijay Patil will also be a great memory for Mumbai cricket.

“He was quite generous in terms of making sure that he would give us that special T-shirt and cricket ball for the museum which is being developed by the Mumbai Cricket Association,” said MCA president.

“We were very fortunate that Wankhede stadium has given us so many historical moments. And, this is another memory that we will keep, and we can take away from the ground. It is a fact that it happened in Mumbai. Test matches are always an extraordinary occasion and Mumbai is a very special place in the cricketing calendar of our country. We have witnessed the history being made at the Wankhede.

“Ajaz has roots in Mumbai, so we could identify with the success he achieved. He was extremely delighted with an incredible performance. It was just amazing efforts by Patel,” he added.

The DY Patil Stadium has been rated as one of the six best stadiums in the world and has been honoured with the ‘Best Stadium Experience’ award during the IPL Awards 2010.

“There is no lack of cricketing talent in this region. Honing the skills of youngsters with state-of-the-art facilities in Dr. DY Patil International Sports Stadium will definitely help in tapping the cricketing talent for state and country. Our main focus would be how we can produce the best talent. And we continue to have great players representing not only Mumbai but the nation in the future,” he signed off.

Despite Patel’s heroics, New Zealand lost the two match Test series 1-0.
