Nehra to Ish Sodhi, no run, the last ball for the Indian legend tails away late and the batsman misses it. Just before the last ball was bowled, there was an intruder to thank Nehraji for his efforts. India win by 53 runs. But it is Nehra's moment

Key Moments

05:28 PM
On a ground, which had turn, was slightly slow, Indian bowlers did really well. Chahal removed Guptill thanks to a terrific catch from Pandya at long-off. And from then on, the juggernaut never stopped as the bowlers kept chipping away with the wickets. Barring Nehra, everyone picked wickets and India allowed the Kiwis to score only 149, winning the game by 53 runs and taking a 1-0 lead.
05:28 PM
India wrap up a clinical win and this is their first against the Kiwis on the backdrop of Nehra's retirement. India mounted 202 thanks to 80s from Rohit and Dhawan. A cameo from Kohli helped India push past 200.
04:52 PM
Engulfed in a lot of hugs is Mr. Nehra or as we like to call him Nehraji. Even Williamson has a few words and a warm hug for the senior statesman. The entire Kotla was up on its feet for the final over. Such has been the popularity of this man. Started off in 1999 and wraps it up in 2017. He is seen taking a lap of honour. Touches the feet of Bishan Singh Bedi who was sitting near the sidelines.
04:46 PM
Final over. Final time. Nehraji. He has bowled many significant death overs. This one is a memorable last.
