Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh

Two of India's most successful cricketers of this millennium made their debut in the same match. When India took on Kenya in the 1st preliminary quarter final of the ICC KnockOut Trophy, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh were making their international debuts. While Zaheer was the most successful bowler on the day with three wickets, Yuvraj was but a spectator.

For the rest of their respective careers, the roles were largely reversed. While the southpaw was busy decimating bowling attacks, Zaheer went about his work with great precision and almost under the radar. Despite picking up over 600 international wickets across all three formats and coming back from various injuries, he remains one of India's most under-rated bowlers.

Yuvraj's career has been one that is littered with personal and team glory. He has won the ICC Champions Trophy, ICC Cricket World Cup, World T20 and even completed his maiden IPL victory with Sunrisers Hyderabad. On a personal front, he has hit six sixes in an over in a World T20 while also holding the record for fastest T20 fifty.
