Sustaining back and ankle injuries, Ashish Nehra could not cement his place after some good performances for India. He was part of the 2003 Indian World Cup team which reached the finals and the 2011 World Cup winning team. The latter saw a flop show of Nehra where he conceded 16 runs in four balls when he had just 13 runs to defend, but the former had some noteworthy performances from Nehra. He scalped 15 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 19.26 runs per wicket in the World Cup.
