Zaheer Khan was born on October 7, 1978. The former Team India fast bowler is one of the greatest to ever wear the Indian jersey. He came at a time India was struggling to find a fast-bowling partner for Javagal Srinath. Not only did Zaheer put a fullstop to that problem, he shouldered the responsibility of being an ace of the Team India fast bowling department leading them to multiple glories. Zaheer has also been an role-model to the next generation of the Indian fast bowlers who have done well in the overseas conditions. Remembering his greatness, fans flooded Zaheer with wishes on his special occasion. Happy Birthday Zaheer Khan! Fans Wish India’s 2011 Cricket World Cup Winner as He Turns 45.

Sachin Tendulkar, who has been a teammate for Zaheer for more than a decade and won the ICC ODI World Cup 2011, also wished him on his birthday. But Sachin's wish came a day after October 7, on the next day that is October 8. In his wish Sachin shared a picture with Zaheer with the caption 'Some friendships just Khan’t be bowled over! Happy birthday, Zaheer, wishing you a day as effortless as your bowling action!'. While fans considered that Sachin was late to wish Zaheer, an old post of Sachin Tendulkar on X made them think otherwise. 'BCCI Using Internet Explorer' Fans React After Indian Cricket Board Sends Birthday Wishes for Zaheer Khan A Day Later.

Zaheer Khan's Wife Sagarika Ghatge's Wish

Sachin Tendulkar's old post from 2020 went viral where he asked Zaheer Khan to reveal that birthday is on October 8 and not October 7. He termed the birthday confusion as one of Zaheer's 'reverse swing' as he wished Zaheer happy birthday in his post. Zaheer Khan's wife Sagarika Ghatge also wished Zaheer on October 8 through a post on Instagram and not on October 7. Both the posts indicate that actually Zaheer Khan's birthday is on October 8 and the public information that is open to fans is not the correct one.
