New Zealand v India - First Test: Day 1
Zaheer celebrating a wicket

Arguably the most skilled Indian fast bowler of all time, Zaheer Khan was lethal in his prime. He had everything in his repertoire- a fearsome yorker, a clever leg cutter, a lethal inswinger which caught many right-handers in front of the wicket.

Zaheer bowled at a fair click during his prime. He troubled some of the best batsmen in the world which Graeme Smith can vouch for. Such a great player definitely deserved a swansong for himself.

He played his last Test against New Zealand in Feb 2014 at Wellington, while he announced his retirement from Test cricket on 15th October 2015.
