Zaheer Khan was back with the team after having missed the tour to West Indies in June and his form with the ball was crucial if India were to do well.
However, on the morning of the first day of the first Test, those dreams faded away when Zaheer injured his right hamstring and walked away, to never bowl again in the series.
India eventually lost that series 4-0.
