Legendary Indian national cricket team pacer Zaheer Khan was recently assigned the task of choosing his fast bowling ‘Fab Four’ and included two Indians in his list.

Two Indians in Zaheer Khan’s list were quite predictable as he picked spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and senior speedster Mohammed Shami.

The duo has been the main reason behind the success of the Indian National Cricket Team across all formats. Currently, Shami is injured and in his absence, Bumrah has shouldered the responsibility of getting the job done for his team very well.

Mohammed Shami was last seen in action during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, where he put in an absolutely legendary performance, picking 24 wickets in 7 matches. Bumrah was also sensational in that tournament, but India failed to lift the trophy.

However, Jasprit Bumrah played a vital role in ending India’s title drought as he bowled exceptionally well in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, where he picked 15 wickets, won the Player of the Tournament award and helped India win the ICC title after a decade. .

Jasprit Bumrah is currently participating in the two-match home Test series against the Bangladesh national cricket team while Mohammed Shami is busy with his rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, Zaheer Khan has said that Bumrah and Shami will be the first two bowlers in his Fab Four list, while the rest of the two spots will be taken by two between Kagiso Rabada, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

“India has performed exceptionally well and has been a part of two World Test Championship finals. India has done well consistently in all conditions. Therefore, I would surely pick Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami among my Fab Four. Apart from them, Kagiso Rabada and Josh Hazlewood are also one of the contenders. These are the four or five players who have made a consistent impact in Test cricket,” Zaheer Khan told Cricbuzz.

Zaheer Khan also spoke about India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir. He said that Gambhir is always passionate about the game and is hungry to win. According to the legendary pacer, these qualities made him a good player and will also make him a good coach.

“When you talk about Gautam Gambhir, the hunger to win is very evident and he is passionate about cricket. These were the same qualities that made him a good cricketer, and he will see the game in the same way as a coach.” You can also see his playing style and the way he played cricket in his training. Yes, you will get better as you spend more time there, but the basic training style is very similar to your playing style.”

Gautam Gambhir is currently with the Indian national cricket team in Kanpur for the second test against the Bangladesh national cricket team.
