7. Ashish Nehra (India):

One of the most surprising facts of the World T20 2016 was that Indian left-arm pacer Ashish Nehra who made his international debut for India in 1999, made his World T20 debut for India 17 years after. Nehra made a comeback into the Indian team in 2015, after a strong show in that year’s IPL. He had last played for India in the semi-finals of the World Cup 2011 against Pakistan, where he had injured his hand and missed the finals due to the injury.
36-year-old Nehra picked up 5 wickets in the tournament but impressed one and all with his ability to get early breakthroughs as well as his death bowling. Especially against the West Indies in the semi-finals where he gave away just 25 runs and picked up 1 wicket in the defeat, where his fellow bowlers went for 43 and 48 runs respectively. It also earned him a place in the ICC team of the World T20 2016.
