Naman Vinaykumar Ojha (born 20 July 1983) is an Indian first-class cricketer. He represents International cricket.
He is a capable top-order batsman and wicketkeeper, Ojha made his first-class debut for Madhya Pradesh in 2000-01.
He represented Rajasthan Royals in the 2009 Indian Premier League in South Africa. He opened the batting for the Rajasthan Royals and played some important innings. He scored two half centuries and hit 11 sixes in the tournament. He also plays for Indore in Madhya Pradesh T20 League.
In July 2014, whlie playing for India A in an unofficial test, Naman scored unbeaten 219 that included 29 boundaries and 8 sixes at Brisbane.
Domestic Career
Ojha made his first-class debut for Madhya Pradesh in 2000/01. He has tasted success in the limited-overs format and made his mark in the 2008/09 Challenger Trophy, scoring 96 for India Green.
Rajasthan Royals came calling during the second season of the IPL and he made a mark in his second game, smashing a half-century.
In November 2013, Ojha hit the tenth century of his first-class career in Mahdya Pradesh's first innings against Bengal. This was Ojha's first fifty-plus score in 13 innings.
The last time he had hit a fifty-plus score in first-class cricket was also against Bengal in the last season when he was stumped on 99.
In March 2014, Ojha scored 94 nearly guided Madhya Pradesh to victory, but tight bowling from Railways resulted in MP falling eight runs short.
Ojha scored unbeaten 65 guided Central Zone to a win in a tricky chase against East Zone in the quarterfinals of the Deodhar Trophy.
In 2014 IPL, Ojha a strong bottom hand dominated most of his shots so much that drives through the cover region seemed shoveled but his lost to Kings XI Punjab. Sunrisers Hyderabad have been searching for an Indian batsman to support their big-name top order and his 79 off 36 has given a strong message.
He was brutal against the spinners and Sandeep Sharma's medium pace enabled him to drive Sunrisers Hyderabad past the 200-mark. The 26 runs that came in the 19th over meant Sandeep's 1 for 65 became the joint second worst figures in IPL.
In his 100th first-class match Ojha scored hundred in both innings while playing for India A against Australia A at Allan Border Field, Brisbane in July 2014. H e scored a double century in the first innings and added 122 runs with Nos. 10 and 11, whose combined contributions to those two partnerships was 11 runs, before India A declared on 9 for 475. Naman's unbeaten 219 came off 250 balls, with 29 fours and eight sixes. After reaching his 100, he scored 119 runs in just 114 balls.
Ojha carried the fluency of his double hundred into this innings to finish with a match aggregate of 320. His first and last deliveries went for four and six respectively and book-ended a knock that ensured India would finish the game on a strong note. He was the more aggressive of the two batsmen, hitting five sixes off which four came against the medium-pace of Peter Forrest. Like the first innings, he brought up his 15th first-class hundred with a six.
International Career
His first tryst with the big league was when he was included as a back-up wicketkeeper in the t20I sides for Indian cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2010 and for Tri-series on same tour when the selectors decided to rest several senior players including indian captain and wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
