Ashish Diwansingh Nehra ( pronunciation  Hindi: आशीष नेहरा; born 29 April 1979) is an Indian cricketer (left-arm medium fast bowler) who has represented India at the international level since 1999. He embodies various virtues of a left- handed bowler- pace, accuracy, strategic variations in line and length, and the ability to swing the ball both ways. He has been particularly effective with the new ball and at the death overs. Due to fitness issues, he has been absent from the national scene for extending stretches, but has been a part of the Indian team in two largely successful World Cup campaigns, two Asia Cups, and three Champions Trophies. He has also been particularly effective in the IPL, in which he has represented four different teams.

Nehra started playing first-class cricket for his hometown, Delhi, in the 1997/1998 season.

Nehra made his Test debut against Sri Lanka at Colombo in 1999 and his ODI debut against Zimbabwe at Harare in 2001. On his Test debut, Nehra started out well, dismissing Marvan Atapattu early but then failed to pick up any more wickets. Similarly, he dismissed Alistair Campbell with only his 2nd ball in ODIs. He was also part of the Indian team's run at the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. It was there against England, that he got his career-best ODI figures of six for 23. His performance in the other matches in the World Cup were also noteworthy.
