Nayan Mongia- Baroda, Right Handed Batsman, Wicketkeeper

 An excellent wicket keeper- sharp behind the stumps, and is always ready to shout himself hoarse appealing in support of the bowlers. His judgement will keeping to spinners- especially Anil Kumble- is superb. He has been fined many times for over-appealing. A keen and enthusiastic wicket-keeper, Nayan Mongia has served India in exemplary fashion since replacing his Baroda teammate and captain Kiran More behind the stumps. His glovework is very skillful, neat and tidy, without ever being flashy and he has effected several lightning quick stumpings off the bowling of India`s spin trios, whilst always looking more than competent standing back to the hostile Srinath. Much to the surprise of many skeptics, he has also proved a valuable and versatile batsman. He bats regularly at number 7 for India, although he has also opened the innings, and has played a few useful knocks there
