The reason for choosing Bengal was that Mumbai had a strong batting line-up, so it was difficult for him to secure a place in the side. However, there were plenty of vacancies for batsmen in Bengal. He also played for the East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. In 2001-02, he was selected as the captain of the Bengal national team, but did not succeed in this role.

“I couldn’t stop smiling for three days.”
