Virat Kohli Once Apologised Thrice To Zaheer Khan During One Game. Ishant Sharma Reveals Why

Indian bowler Ishant Sharma revealed that the Indian batter Virat Kohli's dropped catch was the reason why India's former pacer Zaheer Khan could not play 100 Test matches for India. On JioCinema's expert panel discussion, Ishant Sharma shared an interesting story about how a dropped catch from Virat Kohli against New Zealand in the second Test match in February 2014 led to Khan jokingly declaring his career was over. Notably, Zaheer announced his retirement from international cricket after this match where Virat dropped the catch of Brendon McCullum who went on to score 300 runs. New Zealand declared the second innings after scoring 680/8d in Wellington.
