India look to mark Ashish Nehra's farewell with first-ever win against New Zealand in T20Is
India take on New Zealand in the first of a three-match T20I series on Wednesday at Delhi's Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.
With India having made a habit of pulverizing sides at home regardless of the format, the Delhi crowd will be focussing more on a very familiar figure in the Indian blue rather than the match itself. Rarely has the lanky, 6-foot-something figure of Ashish Nehra drawn any applause just for its mere presence but that is what one can expect whenever the veteran pacer runs in with the ball at the Kotla. It will be the last time India sees him do so as he announced earlier in the month that he will retire after the first T20I.
