Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan was a truly world class bowler who had a long career for India, playing 90 Tests and 200 ODIs. Zaheer first broke onto the scene at the age of 20 in the 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy with his ability to bowl at over 90 mph. His amazing ability to reverse swing the ball at high speeds helped India reached the finals of the 2003 World Cup.

Zaheer modified himself as a brilliant bowler with all variations by the time 2011 World Cup rolled in and with 21 wickets to his name, Zaheer ended up as the joint most wicket-taker in the tournament and helped India lift the World Cup Trophy. Zaheer ended up with 282 wickets in ODIs and forever cemented his legacy as one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game.


JAVAGAL SRINATH

Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath was the first true fast bowler to emerge on the international scene from India. He debuted in 1991 and gained critical acclaim for his speed and accuracy. He served India for a long time, and despite injuries hampering his career and lessened his speed, Srinath continued bowling at high class.

He bowed out of the game on a high, helped India reach the 2003 World Cup finals with a brilliant Man of the Match performance against Sri Lanka in the tournament. He was the first Indian bowler to pick up 300 wickets in ODIs and is still the only Indian fast bowler with over 300 wickets in ODIs.
