Mongia, like Dhoni, has the capability to step on the gas in the end-overs and the selectors must be hoping he will repeat the cameos he has so often scripted on the county and domestic circuit.
In 51 one-dayers since his debut against Australia in 2001, Mongia has managed only 1,073 runs with one century and three fifties for an average of 27.51, which, many may consider as not being quite up to scratch.
However, in his defence, it must be said that he has primarily come lower down the order, at numbers five and six, where he has been forced to push the scoring right from ball one.
