#2 Nayan Mongia
Mongia, who was the wicketkeeper, opened the innings along with Rathour and made 24 runs. He is infamous for his bizarre performance in an ODI against West Indies in Kanpur 1994; Mongia along with Manoj Prabhakar, left with 63 to get in 54 balls with 5 wickets in hand, simply refused to chase it down and lost the game by 46 runs.
Mongia finished with 4 off 21 deliveries and was suspended from the rest of the series. He also missed an easy run out in the same match, and has always been marred with match fixing allegations for the rest of his playing career. He, however, still lays claim to the prestigious record for most catches in a Test match for India - 8 catches on two occasions.
The former wicketkeeper, who turned 47 on December 19th retired from first class cricket in 2004. Following that, he was appointed as the coach of the Thailand National team as well as their U-19 team. He has also worked as a cricket expert for several television channels including Star News, NDTV and quite a few more. He applied for the post of selector most recently, but wasn’t picked for the position.
