Guess who is Wayne Parnell's childhood idol?

Essentially, Parnell fills the slot left vacant after Delhi bought out the contract of Glenn McGrath. "I am not going to go there pretending I'm going to fill his shoes." Instead, Parnell is happy that he would be able to play with experienced players and he wants to use the opportunity to learn faster. One of them happens to be his childhood idols Ashish Nehra. As a youngster, Nehra had been the first international bowler he had seen bowl live and was instantly influenced. "Yes, he was one my idols considering he is a left-handed fast bowler, too. It would be fun to play alongside him," Parnell said.
