All-time underperforming IPL XI

#7 Naman Ojha (WK)

Naman Ojha

Naman Ojha is a right-handed wicket-keeper batsman from Madhya Pradesh. He is one of the most consistent performers for his state team. He came into the limelight when Rajasthan Royals signed him for the second season of the IPL. He instantly made a mark in the league by scoring back-to-back fifties in his first two games. He made his debut for India in 2010 and has represented India in all 3 formats of the game. Due to the presence of Dhoni as the primary wicker keeper and preference of Karthik and Patel as back-up keepers, Naman never got an extended run in the International side.

The talented Indian batsman was unable to make a mark in the IPL after his first two innings. In his IPL career, Naman has played 113 matches for various teams, scoring over 1500 runs at an average of 21 and at a strike rate of 118. Naman, who was once considered to replace Dhoni in the Test side, has not done justice to his talent and the expectations. With age not on his side, it would be hard for Naman to make a mark now.
