Ashish Nehra has fractured his finger in the semi-final game against Pakistan and is doubtful for finals of ICC World Cup 2011. Ashish Nehra played brilliantly, he also been impressed the team and crowd as well.

Ashish Nehra has fractured his middle finger, but not to his bowling hand. Nehra attempting a catch of Shahid Afridi in the bowling of Yuvraj Singh when was at fielding at deep midwicket. Nehra was not known for his fielding, came in charging in to catch the ball as it was dying on him. Nehra was not sure whether it is caught or not and umpire asked for replay to confirmed the ball bounced in front of him. Nehra was soon called physio and tapped the finger.

Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said that the scan has confirmed that Ashish Nehra has a fracture. The selection of Nehra is in more questions for finals of World Cup. Meanwhile Gautam Gambhir who went off the field with discomfort is fit and will be playing the finals against Lankans.

Ashish Nehra pick by MS Dhoni was bit of gamble for India; he was left out after his disasters performance against South Africa in pool stages that cost the game. Ashish Nehra has not played first two games with back pain and Sreesanth has only played opening game against Bangladesh and he is the only other pace option for India.

R Ashwin is like to replace Nehra; Ashwin has been very impressive in the two games he played. Dhoni said that he misread the pitch and went in with three paces suggests that Ashwin will be in playing eleven for the finals of ICC World Cup.

India and Sri Lanka will be fighting for the ICC World Cup 2011 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on April 2, 2011.
