Icon Players

Ojas Mehta
Ojas Mehta

Ojas Mehta (DDPL Strikers): In the world of cricket, a phrase that is commonly used is “horses for courses”. For DDPL XI Wizards, Ojas Mehta was a perfect testimony to this phrase. Coming in place of an injured player in the Gold final of the MPL last year, DDPL XI Wizards bought Ojas for 11,000 credits. It was a complete “paisa vasool” for the team owner as Ojas went on to score a century in the all important Gold final. Ojas was one of the most prolific batters in the last season’s MPL.  

Ojas is a right handed opening batter and a right arm leg spinner. Apart from being an enterprising businessman off the field, he is a swashbuckling cricketer on the field. He is an avid lover of the sport and plays cricket for several teams like Bombay Scottish School Dad’s team, Old Monk, a private team, of which former India cricketer Ramesh Powar is a part of, JC (Just Cricket) team, and ofcourse DDPL XI Wizards.

The opening batter was the top run scorer for his team in the last edition of MPL. His team was able to score big, courtesy of his stellar batting performance.

Vijay Singh (JC Four Oaks Spartans): Being a real estate advisor, trust forms an integral part of Vijay Singh’s profession. Not only off the field can one trust him with his ability to offer a good advice but also he can be trusted on the field, especially when he walks out to bat in crunch situations. Vijay is a right handed middle order batter and is known for his hard hitting abilities. He is a genuine hitter and can play quick fire cameos to bail out his team from crisis. In the last season’s MPL, with his blitzkrieg, he steered his team to the championship, as JC Four Oaks Spartans won the Platinum final. Vijay Singh is also the skipper of MCA BKC RC Team.

The creator of MCA RC Cricket Team four years back, he has been an active cricketer and organizer of MCA BKC RC MPL. Apart from representing JC Four Oaks Spartans in the MPL, he plays for Old Monk, JC and St. Mary School Dad’s team.
