India's All-Time World Cup XI v Pakistan 

Fast Bowlers - Venkatesh Prasad, Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan

Venkatesh Prasad was a seasoned campaigner for India

Although Pakistan is famed for its rich crop of fast bowlers, the Indian seamers played a crucial role in edging over them in the seven games at the marquee event. Three standout pacers in these encounters were Venkatesh Prasad, Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan.

Venkatesh Prasad, particularly, was at his lethal best against Pakistan, picking up eight scalps in the two WC games that he played against them. His vicious delivery that uprooted the off-stump of Aamir Sohail in the 1996 quarter final and the aggressive celebrations that followed there after, are still etched in the memories of Indian fans. Prasad also won the Man of the Match award in the 1999 clash for his haul of 5/27.

Javagal Srinath was a part of the Indian side for the first four games against the fierce rivals. Known to be a genuine exponent of pure pace, Srinath picked wickets consistently, spearheading the bowling attack. He picked up seven wickets in the four games that he featured in

Zaheer Khan discharged the role of Srinath's deputy in 2003, and rose to becoming the mainstay in the 2011 edition, as he picked two wickets apiece in both the games, at an impressive economy. Not to mention, Zaheer Khan remained the best bowler of the 2011 World Cup.
