New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel on Tuesday said he wanted to make sure that he gives his best when the bowler was on the cusp of the 10-wicket haul. Ajaz Patel on Saturday became the third bowler in the history of the game to scalp all 10 wickets in Test innings. The New Zealand spinner joined an elusive list as only former Indian skipper Anil Kumble and Jim Laker had taken 10 wickets in an innings. 

"For me, it was how cool it can be to take 10 wickets. That's an illustrious company to join Jim Laker and Anil Kumble is a special one and very humbling but for me, it was more about thinking in mind, 'I got to do anything to make sure I give myself the best chance' because I have been in situations where I didn't push that hard," said Ajaz Patel in a virtual press conference. However, the New Zealand spinner wants to remain grounded and has set sights on playing 80 to 90 Test matches for the Kiwis.
