Zaheer Khan
Wisden CricInfo staff - July 6, 2001

Wisden overview
Like Waqar Younis a decade before, Zaheer Khan yorked his way into the collective consciousness of the cricket world: his performances at the ICC Knockout Trophy in Kenya in September 2000 announced the arrival of an all-too-rare star in the Indian fast-bowling firmament. He might just as easily have come from the Pakistani pace stable: well-built, quick and unfazed by a batsman's reputation, Zaheer can move the ball both ways off the wicket and swing the old ball at some pace. With the bat, he is an asset down the order, using his strength to good effect to propel the ball over the infield. Dileep Premachandran
