Ashish Nehra produced a brilliant bowling performance as his team Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed Mumbai Indians by 85 runs.
Ashish Nehra took 3 wickets for only 15 runs in his 3 overs which helped Sunrisers Hyderabad dismiss Mumbai Indians for a paltry score of 98.
The brilliant performance helped Nehra to bag the man of the match award. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s mentor and Nehra’s former Indian team-mate VVS Laxman took to twitter to reveal Nehra’s pre-match preparation for this match. The funny tweet posted by Laxman shows Nehra taking a nap on a chair with his goggles on.
The tweet read “Pre match preparation of Nehra Ji before his match winning performance against MI”.
