Naman Ojha was in fabulous form during the Road Safety World Series 2022 and continued that form heading into the final where he smashed an unbeaten knock of 108 runs off just 71 balls at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Saturday, October 1. His blistering knock also included 15 fours and two sixes as India Legends posted 195 for six in 20 overs for winning the trophy. The Sri Lankan legends were eventually bowled out for 162 in 18.5 overs.
The wicketkeeper-batter smacked a six in the first delivery of the 19th over to reach his century, as the ball went over wide long-on. After reaching his ton, the 39-year-old celebrated by bowing down towards the dugout and also received a motivational reaction from captain Sachin Tendulkar.
