Cricket Viral Video: While Zaheer was known for being a reliable bowler, his batting was less consistent and he often found himself towards the bottom of India’s batting line up in all formats. However, in moments of intense pressure, Zaheer’s aggressive bowling style would sometimes carry over to his batting, resulting in quick runs for India.
Zaheer Khan smashes off a heavy six
During the 2007 India vs Australia ODI series in Mumbai, Australia was on the brink of securing a commanding 5-1 lead after reducing India to 64-6 in their pursuit of 194 runs. However, a remarkable comeback by India’s No. 9 Zaheer Khan and No. 10 Murali Kartik changed the game’s trajectory. Over the next ten overs, the two lower-order batsmen kept Australia at bay and brought India closer to their target, causing frustration among the Australian players, including fast bowler Brett Lee, who exchanged words with the Indian batsmen.
In the 42nd over, Brett Lee attempted to catch Zaheer off guard with a yorker, which the batsman was able to dig out. However, the delivery brought Zaheer face to face with a fired-up Lee, leading to a heated exchange between the two. In response, Zaheer delivered a powerful blow on the next delivery, launching a full ball over the long-on fence for a six.
