One of India's most loved fast bowlers, Zaheer Khan, celebrates his 44th birthday today, and quite fittingly, social media went on a frenzy, flooding his timeline with wishes.

Khan made his India debut in 2000 and played cricket until 2014, representing the nation in 92 Tests, 200 ODIs, and 17 T20Is. The left-arm paceman is known for his impeccable length and ability to swing the ball both ways, which wreaked havoc on batters (ask Graeme Smith).

He scalped 311 Tests (sixth-highest), 282 ODI, and 17 T20Is wickets for the Men in Blue. Khan was 2nd fastest India to 250 one-day wickets, taking just 180 matches.

Khan was instrumental in India's 2011 World Cup winning campaign at home, spearheading the attack with 21 wickets (most in the tournament).

The Maharashtra-born was heavily influential in India's Test triumph over England in 2007 as well. 

​Former India teammates like Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rudra Pratap Singh also wished the Mumbai Indians' Director of Cricket Operations.

Wishes pour in
