Zaheer Khan is easily India’s best pacer at present. With tons of experience under his belt, Zaheer will look to lead his team’s bowling attack in the IPL. He has the ability to swing the new ball in the initial overs and get his Yorkers right at the end, a technique that is missing from the Indian bowlers. With his age against him, it is hard for Zaheer to bowl with the same flair he had few years ago.
Royal Challengers Bangalore decided not to retain him for the PL. If he is not retained by RCB through Joker Card, many teams will line up to sign the Indian spearhead. Delhi Daredevils in particular will look to get the services of Zaheer at any cost.
