Ashish Nehra Biography

Ashish Nehra was picked out of nowhere to make his Test debut in the Asian Test Championship of 1998-99, against Sri Lanka at SSC. After an ordinary outing, he was discarded for what seemed like an eternity.
 
It was not till the 2003 World Cup that Nehra finally stamped his arrival. At Kingsmead moved the ball around, both in air and off the surface, at brisk pace, vomited on the field, had a banana, and scythed through the England line-up with 6 for 23. He provided excellent support to Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan throughout the tournament, and finished with 15 wickets at 19.26 and an economy rate of 4.26.
 
Unfortunately, his lean, 6’4” frame was more vulnerable than it met the eye, and with one injury following another, Nehra spent more time outside the Indian squad than in it. His injuries and inconsistency led to a stop-start Test career.
 
He never had a decent run in ODIs either — though he was a part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning side. Before that, he became the first Indian to take two 6-wicket haul in ODIs; the second, 6 for 59, came at Premadasa in 2005, when he took all 6 Sri Lankan wickets to fall to a bowler.
 
IPL gave Nehra a new lifeline. He played for Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors India, Delhi Daredevils, and Chennai Super Kings, and impressed in Champions Trophy as well. As a result a 36-year-old Nehra made a comeback to the Indian T20I side, where he soon emerged as the spearhead of the Indian 20-over side.
