Pragyan Ojha: One doesn’t expect turning tracks in SENA countries

The Hindu  

Having played all his 24 Tests in the subcontinent, Pragyan Ojha understands the magic of spin science on such wickets. After India’s 10-wicket victory over England in the day-night Test at the refurbished Motera on the second day, he reminded that there was a reason why the ‘home’ and ‘away’ format exists. That is why Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Ravi Ashwin are rated so high because they have performed everywhere,” reasoned Ojha who has 113 Test wickets under his belt. ‘Axar, hitting the right lengths’ Ojha feels Axar’s consistency and accuracy earned him the Test call-up. If 30 years ago somebody would have spoken of T20 cricket and the kind of shots one can play there, nobody would have accepted.” India has taken a 2-1 lead in the four-match Test series with the final fixture set to begin from March 4 in Ahmedabad.
