Zaheer Khan:
India’s greatest left-arm fast bowler, Zaheer Khan, was the franchise’s first bowling spearhead.
Zak led the bowling attack in the inaugural season in which he snapped 13 wickets in 11 matches. Later, Zak moved to Mumbai Indians for the next two seasons.
RCB, however, bought him back in 2011 and he spearheaded their bowling attack till 2013 season. His comeback in 2011 was fabulous as he returned with 14 wickets and followed it up with 17 wickets in 16 matches during the 2012 season.
His only down time with the franchise was in 2013 where he could play in only two matches. But, he still showed class by getting five wickets in those couple of matches.
