Spotlight on Nehra as India aim to break duck vs NZ
November 01, 2017 18:30
Welcome to the coverage of first T20 International between India and New Zealand in New Delhi on Wednesday.
All eyes will be focussed on veteran pacer Ashish Nehra, who will be retiring from competitive cricket after this match at his home ground -- the Feroz Shah Kotla.
The opening match at the Feroz Shah Kotla will be Nehra's last game in competitive cricket and India would look to bid a befitting farewell to the seamer, whose career has been characterised by many injuries and many comebacks.
It is appropriate that the 38-year-old will be hanging up his boots in front of his home crowd and nothing would be sweeter than an Indian win against a team that has been their Achilles heel in this format.
India have so far lost all their matches against New Zealand, the fifth and last one coming at the ICC World T20 in 2016.
