Dinesh Mongia has quietly gone about the job of accumulating runs
without ever being showered with the encomiums reserved for flashier
but less effective players. Having made his Punjab debut in 1995-96,
he was a steady if unspectacular performer until the 2000-01 season
when he took domestic run-getting to another level, forcing his way
into the national team with a string of big innings. Pugnacious and
dogged, he lacks the natural grace of most left-handers, but
possesses a wide range of attacking strokes. He has done a sterling
job when given a chance in the one-day side, and hammered 159 in the
series decider against Zimbabwe at Guwahati in March 2002.
Suspicions remained, however, that kinks in his technique could be
exposed on more challenging tracks abroad, and indifferent displays
in England resulted in him being relegated to a bit-part role in the
tours that followed. He forced his way back into the 2003 World Cup
squad, where India lost in the final, but failed to set the world
alight. In 2004, he played club cricket in England in an attempt to
regain his place, and ended up standing in for Carl Hooper as one of
Lancashire's overseas players
