Mongia had coaching stints with Thailand following his retirement

The wicketkeeper could only add 3 runs to the scoreboard before running himself out. He stumped out his counterpart Rashid Latif off the bowling of V Raju during the second innings.

Mongia rose to prominence after the retirement of Kiran Moore and was handy with bat, collecting nearly 3000 runs in international cricket, across all formats, and holds the record for most catches by a wicket-keeper in a single innings (8-twice).

He is yet another member in this list whose career was cut short by match fixing allegations. He was eventually dropped from the team following dissent and these allegations didn’t do much to help an already stuttering career at the top level.

He was appointed as the head coach for Thailand (Men and U-19s) following his retirement in 2004 and is now a cricket expert on television.
