Naman Ojha is one of the most aggressive wicketkeeper-batsmen in Indian cricket. His consistent error-free performances with the glove and ability to score runs at a consistent rate make his presence in any lineup a no-brainer.

Ojha displayed another glimpse of his talent in a must-win clash against the Kings X1 Punjab in the seventh edition of the Indian Premier League. SRH opted to spring a surprise by promoting him up the order which sent the bowlers in a state of disbelief and reduced them to mere spectators.

The 33-year-old bludgeoned 79 runs in just 36 balls in an innings consisting of four boundaries and seven sixes. The spectacular innings helped the side post a formidable target of 205 which would have been nearly impossible without his efforts.
