Ojha owes it to Kumble

The newest addition to India``s spin bowling armoury, left-armer Pragyan Ojha today gave credit to Test captain Anil kumble for helping him learn the tricks of the trade and finetune his game. Ojha, who made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup at Karachi on June 28, said he had got tips from Kumble who had given him a lot of guidance. ````His advice has helped me a lot and it is good to learn from experienced players like him,```` he said. Ojha, who had a decent show in the Indian Premier League, didn``t agree that the Twenty20 competition was the main reason behind his selection in the Indian team for the Asia Cup. ````No, it has all come together. It is very important to also play and perform in Ranji Trophy, Deodhar Trophy and the Challenger Trophy. I think playing in all these events including the IPL has brought me forward,```` said Ojha, who hails from Orissa but plays for Hyderabad.
