Young Turks - 7 - Pragyan Ojha

IPL Team - Deccan Chargers

Ranji Trophy Team - Hyderabad

IPL Performance - One of the rare positives in the bowling for Deccan Chargers. The way he held Dhoni was very impressive. Can fire the ball in well into the blockhole too. Gets good turn (remember the Kallis dismissal ?) and can stick to a plan. Can vary his line.

Strengths - Smooth Action, Good Turn, Temperament.

Concerns - Hasnt shown ability to flight the ball or the arm ball. But it could just be that he was not wanting to experiment here. Fielding could be an issue.

Suggestions - He could possibly make his debut now that Harbhajan is out with a ban. If not, he should still be in the selector's long term plans. Since he is a left-arm spinner that is good as he will complement the leg-spin of Chawla and off-spin of Harbhajan once Kumble retires.
