Pragyan Ojha came into limelight with some strong performances in the IPL for various franchises. After shinning with the ball for Deccan Chargers in the initial years, Ojha shifted base to Mumbai Indians in 2012.

The Hyderabad spinner proved to be a good recruitment for Mumbai Indians as he delivered some strong performances for the franchise in 2012 and 2013. On account of his strong show in 2013, Mumbai Indians used their RTM card for retaining him for IPL 2014. They spent 3.25 crore rupees in the process. But unfortunately, Ojha failed to extend his purple patch in the IPL in the seventh edition of the tournament. In 12 matches, Ojha took just 4 wickets and gave away runs at an economy of 8.26. Ojha played one more season for Mumbai Indians in which he played a single match and has been out of favor since then.
