#5 Ashish Nehra

The king of comebacks makes yet another entry into the Indian team, this time as a 38-year-old in a team driven with fitness as a vital yardstick. Nehra has hardly ever been dropped because of lack of form: his fragile body has seen him undergo 12 surgeries, but like a creaking terminator, the Delhi 'lad' is back for yet another stint in blue.
His last international fixture was against the English this year, the same opponents against whom he first came to the limelight during the 2003 World Cup. The plan for Nehra might still not be clear, especially because of the importance being given to a super-fit India side for the 2019 World Cup, but the prospect of watching Nehra, one of the handful of current internationals who debuted in the 1990s, is a mouth-watering one, as he can still crank up his pace to the 140s.
