Zaheer Khan in action for India during an ODI match

Zaheer Khan is India's second most successful fast bowler in Test cricket. He was immensely popular for his pin-point yorkers and caused great trouble to the opposition batsman during his prime days.

The Maharashtra-born player made his ODI debut on October 3, 2000, and went on to play 200 ODIs for the Men in Blue. He has a brilliant bowling record as he picked up 282 wickets at an economy rate of 4.93 in his ODI career. The left-arm fast-medium bowler last played an ODI match on August 4, 2012.

When younger players such as Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami became the first choice picks for the selectors, Zaheer announced his retirement in 2015. His tryst with injuries also hampered what could have been an even more legendary career. He has represented Mumbai Indians, RCB, and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.

The 40-year-old is currently a bowling consultant as was recently roped in by Mumbai Indians as the Director of Cricket Operations on 18 December 2018 ahead of the 2019 IPL.
