Ashish Nehra Selects His Performance Of The Decade

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Nehra gave a detailed description of why he chose Laxman’s knock over Nathan Lyon’s eight-for in the Bengaluru Test against India in 2017. According to him, Lyon came very close to being his first choice since he delivered a mesmerizing performance on day one, despite there being a hint of moisture in the surface against a strong Indian batting line-up. He said:

Nehra hailed the gutsy performance by Laxman as it included batting a majority of his innings with the tail-enders. The small partnerships helped India post a 300-run target which they defended comfortably in the end. He stated,

However, India failed to win the series due to Kallis’ twin centuries in the last Test and that crushed India’s golden chance of winning a Test series in South Africa.
