After a few weeks, the Indian team will face New Zealand. A test series will be played between the two teams, one match of which will be held in Mumbai. Three years ago also, a test match was played between the two teams in Mumbai, in which New Zealand's left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel took all 10 wickets in an innings. He will also be a part of this test series. But during that time, he will not be the only bowler in Maharashtra to take 10 wickets in an innings. Just a few kilometers away from Mumbai, in Bhiwandi, there will be a left-arm spinner like him, who has done the feat of taking 10 wickets in Mumbai itself. His name is Shoaib Khan.
This amazing scene was seen in a local tournament in Mumbai on Sunday, 22 September, where Shoaib Khan took all 10 wickets of the opposing team. Now, unlike Ejaz, Shoaib did not do this feat in any test match or any first class match, but in a local tournament, Kanga League. But no matter what the level of cricket, taking all 10 wickets is no joke and then Kanga League is the identity of Mumbai's local cricket, in which Sachin Tendulkar also showed his talent before becoming a big name. It is run by the Mumbai Cricket Association.
Shoaib did this amazing feat in a Division E match between Gaud-Saraswat Cricket Club and Jolly Cricketers. Left-arm spinner Shoaib bowled 17.4 overs continuously against Jolly Cricketers without getting tired and without stopping and created history by taking all 10 wickets one by one. On the basis of his bowling, Jolly Cricketers were all out for just 67 runs in the first innings. Shoaib's team declared their first innings after scoring 69 runs, while in the second innings Jolly Cricketers could score only 36 runs after losing 3 wickets.
A performance for the ages from the Mumbai lad!

The Gaud-Saraswat team won on the basis of a lead of 2 runs in the first innings. According to a report in Midday newspaper, Shoaib Khan runs a clothes shop in Bhiwandi near Mumbai. About 10 years ago, in a match of this tournament, Shoaib had led his team to victory by taking 7 wickets in an innings. He used to play for some other club then. This time he created history by taking 10 wickets. For this performance, Gaud-Saraswat Cricket Club owner Ravi Mandrekar also gave him a reward of 10 thousand rupees.
