WATCH: Ajaz Patel Dazzles Pujara With Exceptional Turn, Dismisses Him For Duck

In the ongoing test match between India & New Zealand, NZ spinner Ajaz Patel pushed India onto the backfoot on Day 1. He picked up 3 wickets in quick succession to register the session to their name. 

Cheteshwar Pujara came in to bat after Shubman Gill (44) was dismissed by Ajaz. Patel pitched the ball on the leg stump line and Pujara came down the track to flick it with his back leg off the ground, towards the leg side. This is where the spinner bamboozled the batter. 

The ball dipped and spun towards the opposite direction and dislodged off stumps. Pujara was dismissed for a duck after facing 5 deliveries. Captain Virat Kohli came out to bat after Pujara and was dismissed just three deliveries later by the same bowler via an arguable 'decision' by the umpire.
