more mongia

Nayan Ramlal Mongia pronunciation (help·info) (born December 19, 1969 in Vadodara) was an Indian cricketer, active from 1994 to 2004, when he retired. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper.

When he first toured England in 1990, he impressed Alan Knott, who claimed Mongia was a natural. Having spent many years as India's second wicketkeeper after Kiran More, Mongia first made it into the team in the mid-90s and was from then on the number one choice for wicketkeeper.

Mongia also was a batsman and has a Test high batting score of 152. Mongia's was dropped from the team after dissent and allegations of match-fixing.[1] Mongia was interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation in relation to his involvement in the match-fixing scandal
