If India are on a great run in the shortest format of the game winning nine out of 10 T20Is played recently, a lot of credit goes to the bowlers and in particular, veteran Ashish Nehra.
If India are on a great run in the shortest format of the game winning nine out of 10 T20Is played recently, a lot of credit goes to the bowlers and in particular, veteran Ashish Nehra.
Former India pace spearhead Zaheer Khan believes Nehra, who made a raging comeback to the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side after five years, is doing a brilliant job.
“I should take tips from Nehra on how to survive for so long. It’s not easy to come back at this stage in the career and he’s doing well which is amazing. He has motivated me to start training for the IPL,” Zaheer said here at the launch of a mobile streaming service on Thursday.
Zaheer and his 2011 World Cup teammate Virender Sehwag were at the event as they have been roped in as guests for a celebrity chat show ‘What The Duck’ anchored by cricket humorist Vikram Sathaye.
The 12-minute show on the mobile video service will feature each of them separately, besides others cricketers, both current and retired, doling out humourous tales about their cricketing journeys.
Sathaye got the ball rolling with witty one-liners and asked Zac, who announced his retirement from international cricket last year in October just before Sehwag, why was he called the ‘Gyan Baba’of the India team.
“There’s no particular reason for me being called ‘Gyan Baba’. I think it just somehow started like that. Maybe I can’t stop myself but going up to bowlers and always giving them advice, that’s how it came into existence I think,” Zaheer said with a grin.
