Vadodara, October 24: India will badly miss the services of pacer Zaheer Khan in the One-Day series against Australia starting here tomorrow, but the hosts still have a potent bowling attack that cannot be underestimated, according to visiting team vice captain Michel Hussey.
Zaheer has not been included in the Indian squad for the first two ODIs as he is recuperating from a surgery after injuring his shoulder during the second Indian Premier League in South Africa earlier this year.
“The last time we were here (for the Test series) Zaheer Khan was a crucial bowler for the Indians and his absence will be a big loss to their attack,” Hussey said on the eve of opening encounter of the series here today.
“Ishant Sharma still looks a wonderful bowler to me, he is always a difficult customer.
