Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra will be hanging his boots from his international career after the T20I match against New Zealand on November 1. He has played 17 Tests, 120 ODIs, and 26 T20Is in his 18-year-long career.

CNN News18’s reporter Vimal Kumar had a chat with Nehra about his career and also his future plans. Nehra said that the Indian team is really lucky to have them both Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni at the same time.

Earlier while speaking to the media ahead of the third T20I between India and Australia in Hyderabad, Nehra said: “It’s my own decision. Match on Nov 1 is in Delhi. There’s no bigger thing than to retire in your hometown. When I was selected for this series, I informed Virat (Kohli) and coach (Ravi) Shastri that I think Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) and (Jasprit) Bumrah are doing really well. And that this is the right time for me to go.”

Asked if he would be part of the IPL, Nehra said: “If I have decided something, there is no going back. If I retire, I won’t even play the IPL.”
