Zaheer Khan |
Zaheer Khan ,born 7 October 1978, Shrirampur town in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, is an Indian cricketer who has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 2000.
His father is a photographer, his name is Bakhtiyar Khan. His mother Zakia was a teacher in a school, now she has retired from service. He has two brothers, his elder brother Zeeshan Khan is a chemical engineer, he is working in Aurangabad. His younger brother Anees Khan is in Pune right now. He is doing competitive courses.
A left arm Fast 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 was selected in 2000 for the first intake of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore,[2] He made his Test debut against Bangladesh at Dhaka and ODI debut against Kenya at Nairobi during the ICC KnockOut Trophy in the same year.
Like Waqar Younis a decade before, Zaheer Khan yorked his way into the collective consciousness of the cricket world: his performances at the ICC Knockout Trophy in Kenya in September 2000 announced the arrival of an all-too-rare star in the Indian fast-bowling firmament. He might just as easily have come from the Pakistani pace stable: well-built, quick and unfazed by a batsman's reputation, Zaheer could move the ball both ways off the wicket and swing the old ball at some pace. After initially struggling to establish himself as a new-ball bowler, he came of age on the 2002 tour of the West Indies, when he led the line with great heart. His subsequent displays in England and New Zealand - not to mention some eye-catching moments at the World Cup - established him at the forefront of India's new pace generation, but a hamstring injury saw him relegated to bit-part performer as Indian cricket scripted some of its finest moments away in Australia and Pakistan. After that, his pace has dropped and his attitude was questioned, as a new breed of pace bowlers pushed him aside to move to the front of the queue. Zaheer's response was to head to Worcestershire and take 78 wickets in the 2006 county season, a performance that earned him a recall for the tour of South Africa. He was the perfect foil for Sreesanth there, and he then regained his status as leader of the pack with a matchwinning display at Trent Bridge, as India won only their fifth Test on English soil.
Zaheer Khan is a Libran by his sign. This year is going to put lots of pressure on Zaheer, but will prove worthwhile. There may be ups and downs in his personal life. His lucky number is 7,10 and lucky days are Wednesday and Saturday. Lucky
colours are orange and brown.
Do not let any misunderstanding or confusion create problem between colleagues, partner or close friends. Maintain balance at workplace. This year is definitely going to be one of the best of times for you. There will be a new origination, career wise, that will give immense boost to your income.
