Nayan Mongia Cricket

Nayan Ramlal Mongia pronunciation (helpĀ·info) (born December 19, 1969 in Vadodara) was an Indian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper. Currently, he is a cricket analyst. 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 was a handy batsman and has a highest Test score of 152, which came against Australia. He was dropped from the team after dissent and allegations of match-fixing.[2] He was interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation in relation to his involvement in the match-fixing scandal.[3].
