Nayan Mongia:
The Pocket Dynamite Wicket-Keeper from Baroda |
-
Karthik Narayan
“A
wicket keeper’s job is never done”. That is a
quip that may be quoted any time in the history
of cricket. While all the praises are showered
upon the star batsmen, the super fast bowlers
and the electric fielders, the show lights
rarely do shine on these small people who do
great and yet silent deeds. Nayan Ramlal Mongia
is no stranger to that pack.
Born on Dec 19, 1969 at Vadodara (Baroda now),
this quiet young man, made it to the Baroda team
in the 1989-90 season after striking a rich haul
in the India U-19s in the 1987-88 season. He had
done really well with the bat and behind the
stumps; in just 5 games, he impressed the Baroda
selectors with 17 victims as keeper and had
scored 305 runs.
The Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground at Rajkot
is where it all started for Mongia, when he made
his Ranji debut against Saurashtra in November
1989. He did not have a great role to play
except take his first catch off the medium pacer
Palkar. He walked in to bat at Number Eight, and
spent very little time making a duck. He did
open the second innings for Baroda, but did not
have much to do as well.
