(born
December 19 ,
1969 in
Vadodara ) was an
India n
Cricket er, active from
1994 to
2004 , when he retired. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper.
One of the friendliest cricketers on the circuit away from the playing field, Mongia's attitude is more serious on the pitch. When he first toured
England in
1990 , he impressed
Alan Knott , who claimed Mongia was a natural. Having spent many years playing second fiddle to
Kiran More , Mongia first made it into the team in the mid-90s and was from then on the number one choice for opener.
His skills at fielding, with his lightning quick catching reflexes, or stumping ability, are more than equalled by his skills as a batsman, as proved by a Test high batting score of 152, though these are coupled with something of a controversial streak, Mongia's actions include having been dropped from the team after dissent and match-fixing. Mongia retired at the back end of
2004 .
