Jaffer reveals story when Zaheer got really angry

• Zaheer felt Pietersen disrespected him during the 2nd Test.
• Fiery exchange between Zaheer & Pietersen at Trent Bridge.
• Zaheer took 5 wickets after incident, India won by 7 wickets.

Speaking on The Great Indian Cricket Show on Doordarshan, Wasim Jaffer revisited a fiery on field exchange between Zaheer Khan and England batter Kevin Pietersen, during the tour to England, that went

on to change the course of the Test match. The incident happened during the second Test match between India and England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, which India won by seven wickets.

Jaffer said, “Zaheer had gone out to bat when he felt Kevin Pietersen had done something disrespectful. Pietersen was eating sweets, possibly jelly beans, which people often believe helps in shining the ball.”

He added, “Zaheer felt Pietersen may have thrown something or crossed the line. A few words were exchanged, tensions rose, and Zaheer was completely fired up.”

“When England came out to bat, Zaheer responded in the best possible way. He picked up five wickets and became one of the main reasons India went on to win that Test match.”
