Mongia ready for 145;last test lap146;

8216;Three strikes and you8217;re out8217;, this adage could perfectly fit Punjab captain Dinesh Mongia8217;s current situation 8212; this is his third return into the team in the past two years, something he is well aware of, but doesn8217;t bother him one bit.

8220;You can8217;t take anything away from me. What I have achieved, the runs I have scored, the troubles I have faced up until now they are all mine to keep,8221; said Mongia, who was at the Sector 16 Cricket Stadium here on the eve of the national camp in Bangalore.

He also said that the Indian domestic circuit has become more competitive over the years. He said that some players in England have even requested to be given a chance to play in Ranji. 8220;People have underestimated the level of competitiveness in Ranji, it has taught me a lot.8221;
