India vs Australia 2017: 1st T20I, 5 things we learnt from the match

#4 At 38, Nehra picked but sidelined

Ashish Nehra was unfairly sidelined

Ashish Nehra played cricket while most of India's current team were still in school. Yet, he is still in and around the Indian T20I team for his ability to run in and swing the brand new ball. For the T20 series against Australia, Nehra made it to the squad and was expected to start given his experience.

However, India chose to stick with Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while Nehra remained on the bench. Given that rotating the tired bowlers was a feasible option, Nehra's ouster is shocking. If the experienced seamer is part of the squad, it is only fair that he gets to play.
