Ojha is excellent behind the stumps and is also a very good batsman in the top order. These skills will allow him to play an important role.
Virender Sehwag
Sehwag has always been an explosive batter at the top and looks to hit the first ball of the first over for a boundary. India Maharajas will be looking for some of that explosion in tomorrow’s match as well.

Eoin Morgan
Morgan recently retired from all forms of international cricket for England. He however struggled in this year’s Hundred as runs did not come his way. He will have a chance to improve his performance in tomorrow’s game.
