Ashish Nehra’s farewell match ended in a satisfactory win for India over New Zealand. Men in blue won the match by 53 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. It was India’s first ever win against the Kiwis in the six matches they have played against each other. One of the most memorable moments of the match was when Nehra little piece of fielding in the 15th over.

Tim Southee tried to flick Yuzvendra Chahal and the ball went to short fine leg. Ashish unintentionally jogged to it and stopped the ball with his boot. It ended up bouncing into the air and Nehra caught it and threw it to MS Dhoni. Everyone on the field was delighted and skipper Virat Kohli praised Nehra who reacted with his characteristic smile. The crowd also gave a cheer for that little bit of magic.

How's that for footy skills from our very own Nehraji? What do you make of that @YUVSTRONG12 😉 #INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/YaTeJk5d0t

Nehra decided to bid adieu last month as a professional player, explaining that he won’t be playing domestic cricket or in the IPL. He couldn’t get a wicket in the match as Kohli and Hardik Pandya had dropped catches off his deliveries. India took a lap of honor after the match during which Kohli and Dhawan hoisted Nehra on their shoulders.
