10 most unlucky Indian cricketers not to have played more (2000-2018)

#9 Naman Ojha

Australia A v India A

With an abundant of wicket-keeping talents in the form of M.S Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Parthiv Patel, and Wriddhiman Saha, Naman Ojha’s international career never really took off. Though he started scoring a lot of runs only in his late 20’s, he did extremely well thereafter.

Having made his first-class debut for Madhya Pradesh in 2000/01, Naman Ojha has played 135 first-class games and scored 9152 runs at an average of almost 43. He has also played 132 List A games and scored 3933 runs at an average of 32.50.

Ojha played a lot of games for India A and scored heavily. He scored unbeaten 219 for India A at Brisbane that included 29 boundaries and 8 sixes. He should consider himself really unlucky to be fighting with a player like Dhoni for a place in the team. Ojha has played only one ODI and one Test for India.
