Most overrated XI in Indian Premier League - IPL history

10) Zaheer Khan

Zaheer khan is the perfect role-model for the current generation of fast-bowlers. He propelled the Indian bowling unit for more than a decade. In his prime he made the world-class batsmen dance to his tunes. Particularly nobody can forget his 2011 World Cup heroics where he ended up as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 21 wickets.

Khan is a complete bowler and can easily adjust to any format of the game. It is one of the reasons why he bagged a contract in the inaugural IPL auction. He scalped 13 wickets in 11 games while playing for RCB in his debut season. In the following season, he moved to Mumbai where he plied his trade for two years. Then again he returned to the Bangalore team before the 2011 IPL and stayed there for 3 seasons.

Though the left-arm pacer enjoyed decent success his numbers didn’t justify his white-ball supremacy which is often related to him. Then in the later years, he played for the Delhi team where he only picked up 27 wickets in 30 games. Being the frontline bowler of the side those figures are criminal. To be fair Zaheer lost his vigor in the final years of his IPL career and he might have dragged on for a little too long.
