As they say, it is easy to get to the top of the mountain, but way too tough to be at the top for a long period of time. A lot of cricketers go from rags to riches with consistent performances. But there are some, who have are betrayed by their form, consistency and physical fitness, but still they make it to the top, not once but everytime

Ashish Nehra, the cricketer from Delhi who made his ODI debut in 2001 and bowled well to get a ticket to the 2003 World Cup, where his sharp bowling earned him his career best bowling figures (6-23) against England. But due to several injuries in back and ankle he lost his form and so as the place in the Indian pace battery.

After his recovery he was called back in March 2006, but still could not cement his place in the team. He was sent back and made a come back 4 years later in 2009 India's tour of West Indies, as a replacement for Zaheer Khan, which again was not so special tour for him.

For the 4th time, he was picked for the 2011 World Cup where he played a match which was not so amusing for the Indian fans. He had to defend 13 runs of the last over, but ended up giving 16 runs in 4 balls. The complete social media and cricket world went behind him with unending criticism. However his spell in the next match against Pakistan was a crucial one as India won the match. He was again challenged by injuries which made him watch the finals from the pavillion.

After recovery, he again anticipated a call for the 2011 series against England and Australia, as he achieved notable figures in the Ranji season that year. He said, he was "deeply hurt" by that.

But he kept hopes alive and worked hard to make a rocking comeback in IPL and in the T20 series against Australia. Superb line, challenging lengths, perfect pace, sharp swings and timely variations have made him now one of the most dependable bowlers this season for the team. He was so good this year that even Captain Cool (MS Dhoni) consulted him in a couple of matches. And his performance in World Cup 2016 earned him a place in WORLD XI.

Not to forget he is 37, the age when even spinners retire, and being a fast bowler he is still hitting the deck hard. He still stuns batsmen across the globe with his out going beauties. Hatsoff to this sportsmen. He has been in and out of the team for half-a-dozen times, but still giving his 100%.

CONCLUSION
What inspired me most is the spirit of come back
Ashish Nehra possess, he doesn't give up easily, his determination and hardwork earned him a place in the world XI.

As a young boy and someone that has a vision Ashish Nehra has really inspired me to keep chasing and don't look back till i get what am looking for and i have made up my mind not to relent till my dream comes true.
