India's ODI XI in Virat Kohli's debut match: Where are they now?

#9 Pragyan Ojha

Pragyan Ojha

The Bhubaneswar-born Pragyan Ojha could never really be a mainstay in the Indian national ODI team. The left-arm orthodox bowler played 18 ODI matches and picked up 21 wickets with an economy rate of 4.47.

The 32-year-old has also played 34 Tests for the national side and was more popular in the longer format of the game. Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians are the two teams Ojha has represented in the IPL.

In December 2014, Ojha's action was found to be illegal and he was barred from playing international cricket. However, after passing the requisite tests in January 2015, Ojha was allowed to play competitively once again.

The 32-year-old currently plays for Bihar in first-class cricket and is longing to make a comeback in the team, albeit that seems highly unlikely now as there is no dearth of young talent. Ojha last played an ODI for India on July 24, 2012.
