Zaheer Khan Cricketer

Zaheer Khan pronunciation (Marathi: झहीर खान; born 7 October 1978) is an Indian cricketer who has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 2000. A left arm fast-medium bowler, Zaheer is known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, and as a batsman also holds the record for the highest Test score by a No. 11. After leading the Indian pace attack for much of the early 2000s, recurring hamstring injuries in 2003 and 2004 forced him out of the team, and after returning for a year, he was dropped again in late 2005. Strong performances on the domestic circuit have seen him recalled to the team as its leading pace bowler. Zaheer can also use reverse swing.
