Despite age being on the opposite side, Zaheer Khan stood out as India’s valuable bowler even in his latter stages of his career. After being a part of the No.1 Test side, Zaheer helped India to CWC 2011 win claiming a record 21 wickets in the tournament. However, injuries put him out of the team for 2-3 years before he finally making a comeback for India’s overseas tours in 2013/14.
Zaheer had decent returns on the tours of South Africa and New Zealand but once again the left-arm pacer couldn’t make it to the Indian team due to injuries.
