The former Indian cricketer, Ashish Nehra was one of the most under-appreciated cricketers during his time. Starting his career with Mumbai Indians in 2008, Nehra represented Delhi Daredevils and Pune Warriors in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Delhi bowler was ruled out of IPL-4 for the first few matches due to a fractured finger on his right hand.

After making a comeback, he was swapped up with Ross Taylor to play for Delhi Daredevils in 2013 IPL. Nehra was bought by the Chennai Super Kings for Rs. 2 Crore in the 2014 IPL auctions. Nehra showed his full potential in IPL 8 by picking 22 wickets in 16 games to become the second highest wicket-taker of the tournament.

Ashish was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs. 5.5 Crore in 2016 auctions and went on to represent them in 2017 before announcing his retirement in the same year. He is currently acting as the bowling coach of RCB.

Nehra mustered 105 wickets in 88 games at an economy of 7.83 with his 4/10 against RCB being his best.
