Having endured much pain in his 18-year-long injury-littered yet successful career, Ashish Nehra says his body will be at peace as he bid adieu to international career tonight. "I will miss all this. That's what you train for. One thing which will definitely be at peace will be my body. I said earlier that I can go a couple more years, but there can't be a better time to walk away," Nehra said after his swansong game in international cricket. Nehra was asked by skipper Virat Kohli to bowl the last over the first T20 match, which India won by 53 runs. "I must be the one bowler who sent down the last over most number of times for India. But those times were different. There was no pressure today." Nehra said the game has changed a lot since he started playing.

Indian bowler Ashish Nehra (R) waves at supporters as he leaves the field with his team at the end of the first T20 cricket match between New Zealand and India at Feroz Shah Kotla Cricket Stadium in New Delhi, on November 1, 2017. Ashish Nehra played his final game against New Zealand in the first T20 of the series at his home ground of Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on November 1, he confirmed after speculation rose a day earlier. With that, he would bring to an end his 18 year career and has also called time on playing further domestic cricket and Indian Premier League. Pic/AFP
