4. Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan is arguably the best left-arm seamer to have ever played for India. 'Zak' started off as a tearaway seamer but matured into one of the finest swing bowlers.
At the turn of the millennium, Zaheer took over the mantle of the India seam attack from Javagal Srinath. He led an impressive pace attack which boasted of quality seamers like Ashish Nehra, Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan, RP Singh and Munaf Patel.
Post his successful county stint in England, Zaheer became a crafty bowler having achieved mastery over his skills, using a bagful of variations to outfox premier batsmen. Zaheer could make early inroads into the opposition and also chip in with wickets at the death with his lethal yorkers. He became one of the most complete seamers of his generation.
