5 dream cross-generation bowling combinations that we'll never get to see 

#4 Kapil Dev-Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan

For over 40 years since India's first Test match in 1932, the team did not have any fast bowlers of note. Kapil Dev came along and changed the face of Indian cricket when he debuted for India in 1978.

In a career spanning 16 years, he took 687 wickets across all formats. However, for most of his career, he did not have a good enough partner.

It is interesting to ponder what could have happened if Kapil Dev had played with India's best modern-day fast bowler, Zaheer Khan. Kapil Dev's swing, accuracy and pace, coupled with Zaheer Khan's left arm swing, cutters, slower balls and fast yorkers would have made them one of the best fast bowling duos in cricket.
