Zaheer khan: It is a good thing to have a left -handed fast bowler in any team. Because being a left -arm fast bowler keeps the team balance. India also had one such player. But even after 11 years after this player retired, such a bowler has not been found. Of course India has a sharp bowler like Jaspreet Bumrah. But Bumrah has also not been able to meet the lack of this bowler till now. This is none other than Zaheer Khan. Let's know the whole matter.
It is known that Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary bowlers of India who has given Team India title in the ODI World Cup. Being a left -arm fast bowler, he puts the batsmen in trouble. He has played cricket for India for a long time. He played his last international match in 2014. After this he retired. But despite retirement, no bowler like him was found.
It is known that India has got a left -handed fast bowler as Arshdeep Singh. But Arsh is only excellent in a format, when he made his debut, everyone felt that Zaheer Khan -like bowler has been found, but Arsh is not good in ODIs and Tests. He has definitely played ODIs. But his performance was not special, while Zaheer was excellent with the ball.
Looking at the international career of Zaheer Khan, he has played 92 Tests, 200 ODIs and 17 T20 matches. In these matches, he has taken 311, 282 and 17 wickets respectively. His economy has been 3 in the Test. While his economy in ODIs has been 4.93 and 7.63.
