Zaheer Khan says that he performs well under pressure
Indian pace-ace Zaheer Khan says that he plays better under pressure, unlike many other payers who are not comfortable playing in such situations.
With the World Cup nearing, there is a lot of pressure on all the teams participating in the mega event. However, hosts India, Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 are expected 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 expectations from people. It’s a good feeling, a responsibility. And if you are able to perform at that highest level, the satisfaction 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 amongst the other teams. He said that the ability to perform well in difficult situations turns ordinary 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 impressive record but many cricket experts claim that the Men in Blue will choke under pressure yet again.

Although http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 looked rusty in the Ashes series against England, the team bounced back in the One Day Internationals (ODIs) 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.

The Indian players will be looking forward to pay tribute to both Tendulkar and Kirsten by winning the mega event. In order for India to achieve the feat Zaheer Khan will have to live up to his comments by performing under pressure and helping his team.
