"Rangana watching him bowl, very similar in terms of height and stature but in terms of what he has achieved in the game, he is far ahead. Watching him bowl was a treat growing up as a spinner," said Ajaz Patel.
"Wasim Akram, when I was younger, I used to love watching him bowl and Daniel Vettori just for his control. His (Vettori) control was phenomenal and to this day I look at him and I just think wow," he added.
Ajaz is only the third bowler in the history of the game after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to pick all 10 wickets in a single innings in Test cricket.
The left-arm spinner had achieved the feat during the Mumbai Test against India earlier this month.
