India's first ever No.1 Test team and where they are today

10. Pragyan Ojha:

If there was one player whose career went down south in the worst possible manner it was Pragyan Ojha. In absence of Harbhajan, Pragyan turned out to be the lead spinner for the Indian Test team at the start of Ravichandran Ashwin’s career. Despite the off-spinner’s rise Ojha continued to partner him in the format but all of a sudden after 2013, he never came close to being picked for the Indian team. Sachin’s final Test turned out to be the left-arm spinner’s last as well. It was a good game for him having bagged 10 wickets.

With Ravindra Jadeja offering additional attributes with the bat, he was preferred ahead of Ojha and the same time left-arm had to remodel his action since it was deemed to be in the illegal range. After clearing his bowling action, Ojha made a shift to Bengal from Hyderabad to work with a better side. However, a revamp of the Hyderabad cricket structure attracted him back to his home team but not without a controversy for the transfer NOC with CAB.
