Naman Ojha banking on IPL to earn BCCI's favour – Cricket News Update
Delhi Daredevils’ wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naman-Ojha-c2057, is banking on the ongoing fifth edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League to be in the reckoning for national selection.
Speaking to media reporters on Saturday, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Madhya-Pradesh-c809 cricketer said that he was trying to raise the bar by performing well in the domestic circuit and hoped his performance in the ongoing IPL will be noticed by the national selectors.
"I am satisfied with my keeping, I am trying to improve game by game, trying to perform well in every tournament, domestic (tournaments) and that's all I can do," said Ojha, who is playing for the table topping Delhi Daredevils in the latest edition of IPL.
Ojha, who impressed fans and selectors with his heroics while opening for Rajasthan Royals in the 2009 IPL in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils so far. One realistic reason behind Ojha’s lost form could be the change in
his batting position, as Daredevils moved him down the order to accommodate the experienced Sri Lankan opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739.
In the ongoing season, the 28-year-old cricketer from Madhya Pradesh has scored just 77 runs in eight matches. "I am trying to score as many runs as possible in the last 2-3 overs," said Ojha when asked about his mediocre performance this season.
After failing to make an impression in the previous edition, the Virender Sehwag-led Daredevils found their feet quite early this season. The Delhi-based franchise currently finds itself at the top of the points table with 12 points in eight games, and with
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 joining them sometime in the coming week, the Daredevils are expected to further strengthen their chances of making the tournament playoffs. However, Ojha shared that they were not thinking too far ahead and are focused on their next game.
Virender Sehwag’s men will next play the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals at home, in Feroz Shah Kotla, on Sunday, April 29, 2012. With four wins and an equal number of losses in their eight outings so far, Royals find themselves in the middle of the points
table.
