#2 Ashish Nehra
Ashish Nehra’s extremely vast experience as a cricketer is what makes him a possible candidate for the post. During his heydays, Nehra had the ability to move the ball while bowling at a quick pace.
This skill of his helped him cement his spot in the team and made him one of the first names to be added in the playing XI. At 38, he can still bowl at140 kmph, as was evidenced in his recent T20 performances, a format he masters.
After a successful IPL 2016, Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar had credited teammate Ashish Nehra for his good performances.
"Getting to learn a lot from Nehra. I have played alongside him in the India jersey for one or two months. Now am getting to learn a lot from him in IPL; he is a bowler who keeps sharing his experience with others and that helps a lot.
“If I do something wrong, he comes up and guides me in the right way and the tip he shares is very helpful. I have enjoyed playing alongside him," Bhuvneshwar told IANS in an interview.
Nehra has played 29 Tests innings, 120 ODIs and 26 T20I in which he has claimed 44, 157 and 34 wickets respectively. His average of 21.44 in T20s is particularly attractive.
