#8. Zaheer Khan
India's most successful and popular pacer after Kapil Dev, Zaheer Khan relied less on pace and more on the swing to annihilate batsmen.
The left-hander was a master of swing bowling and could trouble the batsmen in all conditions. Frequent injuries forced him to drop his pace in the later stages of his career, but during his initial years, he easily broke the barrier of 140 kmph.
He once bowled at 146 kmph to demonstrate his skills of pace bowling.
