Pragyan Ojha Biography
A successful product of the IPL, left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha emerged as the bowling star for Deccan Chargers, with the endorsement of a ‘purple cap’. Ojha got a maiden ODI opportunity in the 2008 Asia Cup against Bangladesh, but not before he had established himself in the Indian domestic circuit as a spinner to watch out for. In a spree of appearances, Ojha displayed reliable bowling acumen with economical spells and odd wickets. It was enough to win a call-up to India’s 2009 World T20 campaign, which he commenced with a noteworthy 4/21 against Bangladesh.
Later in the year, he received a maiden Test call-up against Sri Lanka at Kanpur, a spot he retained for two Tests, largely owing to some tight, disciplined bowling. As with most young Indian bowlers, Ojha is largely used in an around the sub-continent and gains little international exposure as a result. He remains the only left-hander among other youngsters looking to partner Harbhajan Singh while filling in the void left by India’s greatest spinner Anil Kumble.
