The left-arm pacer's former teammate and friend, Virendra Sehwag, took to Twitter to confirm that "Nehra ji" will be joining him in the commentary box at the Eden Gardens match.
Sehwag wrote, "Nehra ji ka commentary welcome zoron shoron se hona chahiye. Apne style me aap log bhi Nehra ji ko welcome zaroor karein."
Nehra and Sehwag share a long friendship as they both started out in the Ranji Trophy for Delhi.

The Indian star bid adieu from the game with a tally of 235 wickets from 164 matches across all the formats in international cricket.
