Zaheer Khan: India Seamer Retires From International Cricket

[Rendu]

 

India left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan has retired from international cricket.

The 37-year-old says he is not fit enough to deal with the demands of the modern game.

Zaheer took 311 wickets at an average of 32.94 in 92 Tests and 282 at 29.43 in 200 one-day internationals.

"As I was training for the upcoming season, it dawned on me that my shoulder may not last the rigours of bowling nearly 18 overs a day - that's when I knew it was time," he said.

He has made himself available for the Indian Premier League in April and May next year but plans to retire from all cricket after the Twenty20 competition is over.

Zaheer played his last Test in February 2014 against New Zealand in Wellington before a tendon injury in his left arm forced him out of the side.

He was part of India's World Cup-winning squad in 2011, when his 21 wickets made him the tournament's joint leading wicket-taker with Pakistan's Shahid Afridi.

LOL Pathan gaadu very briefly shine ayyadu and was very inconsistent throughout his career. 

 

No comparison to Zaheer Khan, our only frontline fast bowler for more than 10 years.

Best Indian seamer .period

Of all time? That's very questionable. 

 

Srinath ranks higher if you ask me. He bowled during times when he had pretty much no support from the other end.

It is debatable...Srinath may not have a seamer on the other side at most Venkatesh Prasad... But has some one like Kumble to handle rest of the game. I think RP Singh Irfan Pathan came and went like a flash but Zak was there to support them from other end...

have a great life ahead..

 

 

 

With 610 international wickets, Zaheer finishes as one of India's most successful bowlers, being the fourth-highest wicket-taker for India across formats

 

He has the second-highest wickets tally - 311 - for an India seamer in Tests, behind Kapil Dev's 434

 

Zaheer finishes his Test career with an average of 32.94 and ODI career with 282 wickets at 29.43
