Ashish Nehra’s story is a true inspiration. Having battled with injuries throughout his career, he has never given up and always come back stronger. He is one of the few players who made their debuts in the 1990s and are still active in professional cricket. He has played in the IPL for many teams including Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He made a comeback to the Indian team in 2016 at the age of 35 and impressed everyone at the 2016 World T20. In the IPL, he has been prolific with the ball especially for Daredevils and the Chennai Super Kings.

A veteran bowler who leads the bowling attack from the front and also guides youngsters as well is an asset for any team. However, his continuous injuries may prevent franchises from bidding for him next year. With 106 wickets in the IPL, he is the 7th highest wicket-taker in the League over the 10 years. Nehra may also be seen in the role of a pace bowling coach for the Sunrisers next year which would immensely benefit them.
