'Asked Zaheer Khan For Size 11 Shoes': Ex-India Star Recalls Unheard Tale Of His ODI Debut
Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma has revealed that former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan lent him a pair of shoes prior to his ODI debut against South Africa in 2007. With a host of first-team stars missing from the tour due to injuries, India had summoned the then 19-year-old Ishant for the three-match series against the Proteas in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Ishant, who had played just one Test prior to his ODI debut, realised his kit bag was missing once he landed in Ireland.
