Zaheer Khan, undoubtedly the best bowler of this generation, leads the scary pace attack of this unbeatable team. He foxed many batsmen in his career as he used to dismiss the left-handers day in day out. The pacer led the bowling attack during the successful run of the Men in Blue and did wonders to the team’s fortunes. He was exceptional with his variations as he discovered some of the unplayable deliveries to the best in the business.

During the World Cup, he was the best bowler of the tournament with 21 wickets in 9 matches at an impressive average of 18.76 and the economy of 4.83. He bowled in power plays for the team and also at the death. Whenever the team needed wickets, he put his hand up and manufactured wickets to bring the team back in the game. On the night of the final, he snaffled Upul Tharanga with a brilliant inswinging delivery and also bowled 3 maidens in the big game.
