The Sunrisers Hyderabad’s wicket-keeper batsman, Naman Ojha, has made 15 dismissals this IPL, all through catches. He has scored a meek 81 runs at an average of 13.50 in 12 games. However, one of the reasons for this could be that Hyderabad have one of the leading run scorers, David Warner as their opener and Ojha who bats down the order has not got enough chances with the bat.

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old has been an impressive wicket-keeper for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket, taking 135 catches and 38 stumpings in 112 List A games, including a highest score of 167.

Ojha was also the wicket-keeper in the third Test of India's tour of Sri Lanka in August 2015 after wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. With already being experienced in International cricket, he would be a more suitable replacement for Dhoni.
