Zaheer Khan has had success in the two Tests thus far on tour. But it was off the field that he put on quite the performance on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media after India's rigorous, three-hour practice session at the WACA, Zaheer exuded calm assurance and spiky feistiness in equal measure.
“This is not the first time we have been in a situation like this,” said the 33-year-old left-armer, referring to the 0-2 deficit. “We have come out of such situations in the past. It's showing in practice; there's a good vibe going in the dressing room and it's a positive sign. We are quietly confident. This Test starts afresh and we are focusing on it.”
Asked about the performance of the bowling unit he leads, Zaheer said, “We were fantastic in Melbourne. Everyone chipped in. In Sydney, the wicket changed after the first day. It's not an excuse, but anybody could see it. The nip and movement off the pitch wasn't the same. But we are looking forward to [this Test] and I am confident as a bowling unit we can take 20 wickets.” continuereading
