Zaheer Khan, the left arm pace bowler, who recently bid adieu to international cricket, has cleared the air on his retirement in an exclusive interview with Cricket Today. According to him, he was thinking of walking away from the game since last few weeks and after talking to his family members and friends, he decided to hang his boots. He seems to be a satisfied man after achieving fruitful results in his career. Pretty much like him, another player, who has been in the news off late, is Ravindra Jadeja. The left arm spinner was axed from all formats of the game but after working hard in domestic cricket, he was called back in the Test squad. He was adjudged Man of the Match for his eight wickets, a crucial 38 in India’s first innings, and two catches in the first Test match. He continued his performance in the second Test, which was washed out because of rain and even in the third one which Team India won inside three days. Earlier, Jadeja was struggling after suffering a shoulder injury and was not able to repeat his magic after recovering from it which led to his ouster. However, the pain of axing made him more determined and the result is infront of everyone. It won’t be wrong so say that he has learned the lesson of his life and won’t leave any stone unturned in the future series. It will be interesting to see how he performs in the shorter formats of the game.
