Pragyan Ojha's performance in the first Test against England, in Ahmedabad, has not just impressed his captain MS Dhoni, but also his childhood idol Venkatapathy Raju. Raju tells Harit Joshi from Mid-Day that Ojha is a complete Test bowler.
"It is good that he is getting a good run in the team now. I have always said that he can be a match-winner if he's provided with few more opportunities. It is certainly helping him. The way he bowled in this Test, it shows he has become a complete Test bowler," Raju said. "He showed patience when the conditions were not helping him. He maintained a consistent line and length irrespective of the result. He kept bowling in the areas where he believed he would get a wicket. He didn't try too many things which also helps in Indian conditions. He showed all the qualities of a good Test bowler."
