Mumbai: Zaheer Khan – one of the best Indian fast bowlers of all-time – called time on his international career on Thursday. The bowler, in his 15-year journey, troubled batsmen across the globe. Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith is one of them.
The left-hander fell prey to Khan 14 times overall. The Zaheer v/s Smith battle was the one fans eagerly waited for, and on Friday, the gentleman South African congratulated the bowler. Smith accepted that Zaheer outdid him in most of the battles.
Congrats on a fantastic career @ImZaheer enjoyed our battles,even if you won most of them:)all the best for your future.you made India proud

Khan retired with 311 wickets in 92 Tests, 282 in 200 ODIs.
