Veteran Indian pacer Ashish Nehra will bid adieu to his illustrious 18-year international career when he turned out one last time for the Men in Blue in the first T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand at his home ground later today. Coming on the back of a 2-1 ODI series win against New Zealand, the Virat Kohli-led side will be aiming to continue their impressive run of form when they head into the opening T20I at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. India, who have never beaten the Kiwis in T20Is, will be looking to break this jinx and give a befitting farewell to Nehra by ending his cricketing career with a win.
