5 most iconic bowling spells by an Indian

#3 Ashish Nehra vs England (Durban, 2003)

Both the teams had their task cut out. With just one group stage match each remaining and that too against their respective arch-rivals, India and England knew that a win in this game would help them go into the last match with a better shot at making the super six.

Ganguly, after having won the toss, opted to put up a target for England to chase in the second innings. Riding on a phenomenal 50-run knock from the Master Blaster and a rather watchful 72-ball-62 from Rahul Dravid, India added 250 runs within their quota of 50 overs.

The onus, which was more often than not on Tendulkar in the World Cup, was on the bowlers now to stop the Three Lions from creating a roadblock in India's path to the next round. Mohammad Kaif played his part in the field by drawing first blood as he ran Nick Knight out in the second over of the chase itself.

While Zaheer Khan added to England's misery by removing Trescothick from the way, it was Ashish Nehra who took the game by the scruff of its neck and turned the English batting line up to dust in an uninterrupted 10-over spell.

After being handed the ball by Ganguly in the 13th over, the Delhi speedster broke the English spine, accounting for six wickets which included the likes of Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain, Alec Stewart and Paul Collingwood. A prolific display of seam bowling, Nehra finished with figures of 10-2-23-6 by the 31st over and left England reeling on 107/8.

India ultimately went on to win the match by 82 runs.
