Zaheer Khan has turned 42-year-old on Wednesday and with every passing year he is become lazier. It’s not something which we are saying but it’s his former teammate and very good friend Yuvraj Singh making the ‘allegations’.
For the kids born in 1990s, Zaheer Khan was a phenomenon and each one of us have tried his bowling action at least once. The friendship between Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Ashish Nehra is also a famous one. Notably, the also blossomed under the magical captaincy of Sourav Ganguly.
Zaheer Khan is only Indian pacer after legendary Kapil Dev to take more than 300 wickets in Tests. The former left-arm pacer is also India’s highest wicket-taker in 2003, 2007 and 2011 World Cup (18, 5, 21). The Maharashtra-born is also 4th (282 wickets) on the list of Indian bowlers with most wickets in ODIs. He played 200 ODI and 92 Test matches for India. In the longest format he also have 3 fifties to his name.
Now on the occasion of his 42nd birthday, Yuvraj Singh has come up with a heartwarming post which includes a beautiful video and a very funny but loving caption. The video posted is a mixture of some pictures from their playing days, their recent videos and also their views on each other. Almost everyone who knows Zaheer in the Indian cricket gives him the ‘lazy’ tag and therefore Yuvraj wished for “another year of lounging on the sofa” for his “brother from another mother”.
India captain Virat Kohli and pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who takes Zaheer Khan as his idol also wished the former great on his 42nd birthday.
Many happy returns of the day fella @ImZaheer. Wishing you a year filled with happiness and success. Enjoy the day.
