Sachin-Zaheer Exchange On Child Prodigy Susheela Meena’s Bowling Action
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar recently sparked interest on social media by sharing a video of Susheela Meena, a young girl from Rajasthan with an impressive bowling action. In his post, Tendulkar praised her technique, saying, “Smooth, effortless, and lovely to watch! Susheela Meena’s bowling action has shades of you, Zaheer Khan. Do you see it too?”
Responding to Tendulkar’s comment, former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan agreed wholeheartedly. He replied, “You’re spot on with that, and I couldn’t agree more. Her action is so smooth and impressive—she’s showing a lot of promise already!”
The video, which quickly went viral, showcases Susheela Meena delivering the ball with a smooth and fluid action reminiscent of Zaheer Khan’s style. Reports reveal that she is an upper primary student from Rajasthan, and her bowling prowess has already caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts and veterans alike.
Zaheer Khan, one of India’s most celebrated fast bowlers, has often been regarded as a trailblazer for Indian pace bowling. His ability to swing the ball both ways, combined with his resilience and tactical acumen, made him an indispensable part of the Indian team during his career spanning over 14 years. Known for his remarkable spells in high-pressure games, Zaheer played a pivotal role in India’s 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
Zaheer’s influence extended beyond his playing days as he mentored emerging talents like Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami. His adaptability, especially after recovering from injuries and refining his skills during stints with Worcestershire in county cricket, is often cited as an example for aspiring cricketers.
