“You ended my career!” Ex-Indian veteran bowlers fuming at Virat Kohli

Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) coach and former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan has recently become a father. His wife Sagarika Ghatge has given birth to a son. The special thing is that this couple has also kept their son’s name quite different and unique. After becoming a father, Zaheer Khan is once again in the discussion, but this time the reason for the discussion is a funny anecdote of his cricket days, which came out through Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma.

Ishant Sharma narrates the story of 2014

Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan were recently talking on Jio cinema, where Ishant shared an old incident. This story is about the 2014 tour of New Zealand. The Test series was going on between India and New Zealand and Brandon McCullum scored a triple century in that match.

Zaheer angry at leaving the catch

Ishant told that Virat Kohli left the catch of Brandon McCullum off Zaheer Khan. During the lunch break, Kohli apologized to Zaheer, on which Zaheer said calm that don’t worry, we will dismiss him. But as the match progressed, McCullum kept playing and scored a lot of runs. At the time of tea, Kohli apologized again, even then Zaheer did not say anything.

On the third day, when McCullum scored 300 runs and Kohli once again apologized, Zaheer’s patience responded. Annoyed Zaheer said in a funny way, “You finished my career!”

Zaheer cleaned

When Zaheer was asked about this whole matter, he clarified that he said this, not in anger, but in a joke. Zaheer told that he had told Kohli that there were two players in history who played a role in someone’s triple century, one Kiran More, who had left the catch of Graham Gooch, and the other Virat, who missed the catch of McCullum.

According to Zaheer, Virat did not like this comparison and requested Zaheer not to make such fun.

Wellington Test became the last match

The incident is of the second Test match played at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand. The match proved to be the last match of Zaheer Khan’s Test career, in which he also took 5 wickets.

Zaheer-Ishant pair

There was a time when the pair of Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma were considered to be the backbone of the Indian Test team. Together these two bowlers have taken a total of 311 wickets in Test cricket. While Ishant has not played any international match since 2021, he has not announced retirement till now.
