MUMBAI: VVS Laxman is back with his new post! He has dedicated his latest post to Ashish Nehra.
He has penned down a heartwarming note for Ashish and fans are all hearts for it.
Fondly called ‘NehraJi’ by his colleagues and fans, Ashish has amazed cricket freaks with his cricketing skills. However, the cricketer, who made his debut for India in 1999 at the Asian Test Championship against Sri Lanka, has had many injuries throughout his career.
VVS Laxman, in his note, has mentioned how despite the pain Ashish kept on performing.
Sharing a picture of the cricketer, VVS Laxman wrote, “A fragile body suggested a brief pace-bowling career, but Ashish Nehra battled through the pain barrier to keep bouncing back as a white-ball master. Repeated comebacks from injury were rewarded with a World Cup winner’s medal in 2011 and a fitting farewell aged 38.”
Ashish’s ardent fans could not agree more and they left comments such as ‘Absolutely! He is legend’, ‘Even at the time of his retirement, his yoyo test score was 19 which was much higher than other top players’, ‘He says he had 12 surgeries. Not sure any other player comes anywhere close.To comeback each time and still bowl 140+ . Gee Wow!!! Respect.!!!’, among others.
