Dear Ghulam jee In case the Muslim community is having bias, let them also know the fact that Zaheer Khan is the second highest wicket-taker in the WC amongst all teams, and we all are proud of him for having done so. The exceptional skills he has shown in the WC and the way the bowling is dependent on him and he manages it, is something which only great bowlers can manage. And for me, he's a Muslim, but more importantly he's one among the 'Men in Blue' out to win the World Cup, so his Islamic identity is irrelevant. And forget Sachin, Yuvraj or Harbhajan, if we win this WC, it will be due to Zaheer Khan.
As for Yusuf, his home is in Baroda, but even then I can understand the disappointment. And I hope he can play in the next few games left and do something great to win it for us. But communal discrimination must be judged on a case-to-case basis, and the argument being given neither has any proof nor any logic. Because by that logic, even Zaheer Khan shouldn't play matches in Gujarat. That's all I wish to say.
