5 players who couldn't make big even after successful IPL campaigns 

Naman Ojha

#5 Naman Ojha

Naman Ojha is only another wicket-keeper batsman who was sidelined due to the MS Dhoni era in the Indian team. Ojha was a player suitable for India in the longer formats of the game. Even after good performances in the IPL and other domestic platforms, the Madhya Pradesh born player's Indian chances were limited.

Ojha started his career for Madhya Pradesh in 2001. After long waits and consistent performances, his national team debut came in 2010, in an ODI against Sri Lanka. In 2009 and 2010, he was part of the Rajasthan Royals, scoring 545 runs from 22 matches.

In 2011, he was bought by the Delhi Capitals, where he played 34 games and scored 424 runs. After this relatively gloomy stint, Ojha shifted to the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he took a vital role in their IPL triumph in 2016. In all the 4 seasons at SRH, the 35-year old was a frequent presence. Being a strong pillar in batting, he scored 584 runs from 56 matches.

In total, Ojha has made 113 IPL appearances and scored 1554 runs for 3 different teams. Despite being the first-choice keeper of all his clubs, Ojha could never really make his presence felt in the Indian team.

He played one test after Dhoni's retirement and was picked for 2 T20Is at Zimbabwe. With only 4 international appearances, a career with potential was rejected.
