Zaheer Khan is now most important bowler of India in World Cup Cricket 2007. He has performed well in the last few months and India is expecting a lot from him. He is eager to prove his talent. He is often an underrated player of Team India. The selectors have surely not given enough importance about him in the lat 7 years although he performed fairly well. In the upcoming World Cup Cricket 2007, Zaheer Khan wants to use the slower ball more and he feels that it would help him to get the best result. The Hindu reported: He is India's pace spearhead, but Zaheer Khan wants to use the slower ball as a weapon during next month's World Cup cricket in the West Indies. Slower ball can be an "invaluable asset" on wickets such as those in the West Indies that are not responsive to fast bowlers, said the left-handed fast medium bowler who has been in excellent form since making a comeback to the team. Zaheer also underlined the importance of cutting down on extras as vital to Team India's campaign in the World Cup hours before of the team's departure to the West Indies. "I think it would be absolutely key to team's plan to cut down on extras in the World Cup," Zaheer told PTI in an interview.
 Zaheer Khan has stressed about cutting back on giving extra runs and he is trying his best in this regard. In fact, in the last 10 One Day matches he just gave 11 extra runs. This is quite impressive and if he can really sustain this kind of economic bowling then it would surely help Team India a lot.
