Dinesh Mongia grabbed the attention of the national selectors after he had a brilliant run in the domestic circuit, playing for Punjab since making his debut in 1995-96. He had made nearly 7000 runs at an average of just under 50. So with a record like that, he forced his way into the national side in 2000-01 in the series against Australia. Though he had a quite debut, he managed to show his class soon, by scoring a flashy 50 in his fifth ODI against England. He followed it up with a match winning century against Zimbabwe in 2002 and that earned him his first man of the match award. However, his good form did not continue, and after many disappointing outings, he was dropped from the side. He went to England and played county cricket for Lancashire and Leicestershire and was successful, thereby getting selected in the national team for the 2006 Sri Lanka series.
