Bollywood celebrities line up to wish Ashish Nehra on a successful career

It was not exactly a fairy tale finish for Ashish Nehra in his international career, but it surely turned out to be an emotional one for him. He finished his international career at his home ground, Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi – the venue where everything had started for him two decades ago. Nehra played his final international game and bid adieu to the sport on a high note.

Playing in the first T20I against New Zealand of the 3-match series, Nehra ended up going wicketless. When he was handed the final ball of the match, things looked to be on a dream note. However, he failed to get a wicket but bowling the final over of the match was nothing short of being an emotional moment. The crowds stood in admiration and the chants were there to be heard.

The international career, that spanned almost 2 decades, came to an end as Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan carried Ashish Nehra on their shoulders in the lap of honor. The good wishes came in pouring for him from all quarters. After the conclusion of the game, both skippers – Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson – congratulated Nehra for a very successful career.

For a fast bowler to survive in international cricket for almost two decades, is indeed a commendable effort. After the game, the good wishes continued to flow in for Nehra on the social media as the cricket fraternity and the fans kept sending their good wishes with #Nehraji and #ThankYouNehra trending on the social feeds.

Well, the Bollywood celebrities not far behind either. The big names of the Bollywood industry, including Amitabh Bachhan, took to micro blogging site Twitter to congratulate Nehra on a successful retirement. They wished him all the best for his future endeavors away from the game of cricket.

Here is how the Bollywood celebrities congratulated Ashish Nehra:

Thank you Ashish Nehra : for all the amazing cricketing moments. Wishing you my best your future endeavours. https://t.co/ekqmjjCX1A
