Former Indian pacer Ashish Nehra was at his best at the commentary box with his first assignment being the India v Sri Lanka ongoing Test match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Nehar was joined in by Virender Sehwag and anchor/commentator Jatin Sapru, and the trio had a good laugh in the commentary box. Nehra is known for his hilarious talks and with Sehwag added to the gang, it was a laugh riot.

Nehra last turned out for India in the T20I match against New Zealand, as he called time on his career. He explained the much talked about Yo-Yo test and revealed his score apart from sharing the names of some of the best performers.

Nehra finds the Yo-Yo test easy

“Yo-Yo test is just like we used to repeat the sprints and take the Blip test in 2002-03. In this test, you have to cover a range of 20 meters in a given time and have to return to start point on a blip. Once you reach 13 or 14 rating, you accelerate yourself. Team India has set 16.1 which is going to be 16.5 soon. So you have to run a lot.” Nehra explained.

The pacer was at his candid best as he shared the secret behind his good scores. “I found it easy because as a pacer, I’m fond of running. But some players find it difficult. Like Yuvraj Singh is still stuck in there and yet to clear it.”

On some of the best performers in the squad, he said “All the players perform above than 16.1 mark as that is the qualifying mark. Hardik Pandya has done 19, I marked 18.5 ahead of the T20I series against England in January. Manish Pandey does 19.”

On being asked if he can beat skipper Virat Kohli’s score, he said “Since I haven’t checked captain’s result so I don’t have an idea about that.”
