ZAHEER KHAN – THE KING OF REVERSE SWING

Zaheer khan a left-arm fast bowler known for his reverse swing. He made his ODI debut against Kenya and TEST debut against Bangladesh in the same year 2000. And from there on he is leading the bowling attack of the INDIAN team. He has faced lots of ups and downs throughout his career. He was constantly cutting down from the team. In 2005 bowlers like S. Sreesanth, R.P Singh made their debut and making it difficult for Zaheer Khan to keep his place in the squad.

In 2006 he went to England to play for Worcestershire county cricket club. He performed  brilliantly for the club. After that he was recalled for TEST and ODI team for the tour of South Africa. He was the leading wicket taker bowler jointly with Shahid Afridi with 21 wickets in the recently held World Cup 2011 which INDIA won.

His journey so far is like undying spirt to strike back,his never to say die attitude making a great comeback in the team when everyone thinks his career is finished.
