He played as 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 has a highest Test score of 152, which came against Australia. He was dropped from the team after dissent and allegations of match-fixing.[1] Mongia retired from first class cricket in December 2004.[2]
