Nehra has played 8 out of the 12 IPL matches for the Sunrisers this season taking 9 wickets at a decent economy rate of 7.65. His best bowling figures were three for 15.
Nehra has played 17 Tests, 120 ODIs and 23 T20 internationals taking 44, 157 and 31 wickets respectively in these formats. In the recently-concluded World T20, he was named in the ‘Team of Tournament’ as he bowled at an astounding economy rate of less than six runs per over on decks not conducive for pace bowling.
Meanwhile, Nehra’s IPL team SRH will go head-to-head against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Eliminator of IPL 2016. The winner of the clash will go on to face Gujarat Lions in the second Qualifier. Nehra’s absence means Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mustafizur Rahman and Barinder Sran will have to be at their best.
