Like Waqar Younis a decade before, Zaheer Khan
yorked his way into the collective consciousness of the cricket
world: his performances at the ICC Knockout Trophy in Kenya in
September 2000 announced the arrival of an all-too-rare star in the
Indian fast-bowling firmament. He might just as easily have come
from the Pakistani pace stable: well-built, quick and unfazed by a
batsman's reputation, Zaheer could move the ball both ways off the
wicket and swing the old ball at some pace. After initially
struggling to establish himself as a new-ball bowler, he came of age
on the 2002 tour of the West Indies, when he led the line with great
heart. His subsequent displays in England and New Zealand - not to
mention some eye-catching moments at the World Cup - established him
at the forefront of India's new pace generation, but a hamstring
injury saw him relegated to bit-part performer as Indian cricket
scripted some of its finest moments away in Australia and Pakistan |
