Pragyan Ojha (born 5 September 1986) is an Indian former cricketer, who represented India in all forms of cricket. He played as an attacking slow left arm orthodox bowler and left-handed tail-ender batsman for Hyderabad. He is one of the very few players who have taken more wickets than the runs they have scored in Test cricket. He was a part of the Indian squad which won the 2010 Asia Cup. He is the player who got out as the historical 800th Test wicket of Muttiah Muralitharan.[1]
