Well the title sounds strange right? May be it should be the other way round - that is Zaheer giving bowling tips to Vinay. Oh well the reality though is that it is Vinay Kumar who has shared his bowling knowledge with Zaheer and the reason is that the former had already toured Australia four times!

Well the title sounds strange right? May be it should be the other way round - that is Zaheer giving bowling tips to Vinay. Oh well the reality though is that it is Vinay Kumar who has shared his bowling knowledge with Zaheer and the reason is that the former had already toured Australia four times! Three times, Vinay was representing Karnataka and on the fourth time, he was on duty for India A. On the other hand, Zaheer Khan had toured Australia twice before but could play in only three Tests so far!
It's learnt that the 27-year-old swing and seam bowler R Vinay Kumar, also KarnatakaRanji Captain this season, had shared his thoughts on how to bowl down under with his senior colleague Zaheer Khan. Should Ishant break down before the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne, Vinay could well be drafted in to make his Test Debut! It has been a better season for Vinay as he seemed to have added a yard of pace, infact clocking about 135 kmph against West Indies back home. With that speed, Vinay's ability to seam and also swing the ball late could put the Aussies under a check if he is given a chance.
