Meanwhile, Ajaz Patel talking about the photo has said that sports can bring people together and it was special to take a picture like that. He said:

“That photo speaks a lot about the sporting world and you know, what sport can do. Sport has the ability to bring people together and not only here but around the world. It was special to be able to take a photo like that. Obviously, there is a fierce rivalry on the field but off the field, it’s a gentleman sport and everyone adds value to each other’s games.”

Although New Zealand lost the series and the match it was the most memorable day for Mumbai-born New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel as he created history in the Mumbai Test match against India by becoming only the third bowler in 144 years of the history of Test cricket to bag 10 wickets in an innings. Before Ajaz, the two other bowlers to pick 10 wickets in Test innings were Jim Laker and Anil Kumble.
