Not just cricketing acumen, Nehra was hailed by former cricketers and experts alike for his “pen and paper” approach as the head coach.

Throughout the tournament, the former Indian pacer looked relaxed and was often spotted without a laptop or any other gadgets, proving the contemporary logic wrong and reminding everyone that keeping things simple with mere pen and paper could also win team matches.

Former Indian cricketer Amit Mishra tweeted in appreciation of Nehra’s approach.
