Player Profile: Ashish Nehra

Nehra was born in a speech blurb. He started speaking sooner than most babies, and even now sleep-talks. Jokes surrounding Nehra: If he was a spinner, what type – out of turn! But beyond the banter, Nehra is fragile and sports psychologists claim the talk is merely to ‘psyche himself’; and ‘forget the limitations of his body’. Memorable moments: When Nehra ripped into a tandoori chicken in full view of the cameras. In the latter part of his career, Nehra blossomed as a lower order hitter and a T20 specialist. For this, mates often joke that Nehra is a four-play master.
