Zaheer Khan – Once the most experienced pace bowler of his time, Zaheer Khan had to live with this record for a period of 4 years as in a match against Sri Lanka he went on to concede a total of 88 runs in 10 overs he bowled. It was the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka which saw the Indian team escaping a narrow win against Sri Lanka despite stamping a total of 414 runs on the board. Batting first team India went on to score 414 runs and it was expected that team India will win the contest easily as scoring 400 runs in ODI at that time was something that was hard to imagine but the Sri Lankan batsman followed the target like a bee looking for honey and in the end narrowly missed a chance as they lost the match by a margin of just 3 runs. Zaheer Khan was the culprit behind Sri Lanka scoring such a huge target as he gave away 88 runs in his 10 overs. But the good thing for team India was that they were able to win the match at last.
