#3 Naman Ojha

CRICKET-SRI-IND
Naman Ojha was India's backup wicket-keeper

In Virat Kohli's Indian Test team, Wriddhiman Saha is the undisputed number 1 choice for wicket-keeping. In his absence, Dinesh Karthik is expected to do the glovework while Rishabh Pant provides a lucrative alternative. However, things were much different in MS Dhoni's Indian Test team, which saw Naman Ojha as the backup wicket-keeper.

Though the lad from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh was selected in the Indian test squad, he unsurprisingly did not find himself in the team. A year later, he made his Test debut against Sri Lanka at Colombo, where he scored 56 runs.

Things have then seen a negative slope for Ojha. He celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday (July 20), and is now more concentrated on domestic cricket as he was benched for the majority of the IPL season.
