Indian pace-ace Zaheer Khan says that he plays better under pressure, unlike many other payers who are not contented playing in such situations. With the World Cup nearing, there is a lot of pressure on all the teams participating in the mega occasion. However, hosts India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are likely be under added pressure to perform in front of their home crowds. This pressure doesn’t worry Zaheer and he said, “I like that pressure. I look forward to go on the field with prospect from people. It’s a good feeling, a liability. And if you are able to perform at that highest level, the fulfillment you get is a different kind of high. It’s hard to explain.”
The left-arm pacer further stated that by performing under pressure, the players get a lot more fan following and respect among the other teams. He said that the capability to perform well in hard situations turns normal players into stars. The Indian team is known to play badly in pressure situations and Zaheer will be looking forward to improve on that record. Lately, the team has an imposing record but many cricket experts claim that the Men in Blue will choke under pressure yet again. India are considered to be one of the favourites to win the World Cup. Other teams which are expected to do well are South Africa, Sri Lanka and Australia.
Although Australia looked tarnished in the Ashes series against England, the team bounced back in the One Day Internationals and won the seven-match series by a 6-1 margin. The 2011 World Cup might also be the last one for legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar. He will be looking forward to do well in the tournament and win the mega event for his country. This World Cup will also be the last task for Indian coach Gary Kirsten. The South African has been a key factor behind the success of the Indian team in the recent past. The Indian players will be looking forward to pay compliment to both Tendulkar and Kirsten by winning the mega event.
