There was a period when Mohanty formed a strong new ball partnership with [[Venkatesh Prasad]]. Beginning at [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], he was the second highest Indian wicket taker despite playing four games fewer than the leading Indian wicket taker – [[Javagal Srinath]]. Mohanty played 17 ODIs and picked up 29 wickets at an average in the early 20s and climbed into the top 20 of the ICC ODI World Rankings. However, with the return of [[Ajit Agarkar]], his opportunities dwindled and he played only another seven games. Mohanty, along with [[Harvinder Singh]] was instrumental in winning one of the Sahara Cup series against Pakistan in [[Toronto]] in the 1990s.

Mohanty was a potential pinch hitter but was never used by the Indian think tank. He was a very capable lower order batsman who could enthrall the crowd with his lusty blows. There was a brief period in Indian cricket when no 11 Mohanty along with no 10 Rahul Sanghvi entertained the crowd with monster sixes though in losing causes.

There was a brief period in Indian cricket when no 11 Mohanty along with no 10 Rahul Sanghvi entertained the crowd with monster sixes though in losing causes. His bowling action was more dangerous than the speed at which he delivered the ball. On flat pitches, he was advised to bowl off spin to save energy.


In the 2000–01 season, Mohanty took ten for 46 playing in a [[first-class cricket|first-class match]] for East Zone v South Zone at Agartala, his career-best innings analysis, and so achieved the rare feat of taking all ten wickets in an innings.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/6/6218/6218.html Cricket Archive – profile.]</ref>

[[Sachin Tendulkar]] recently shared an [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GeOMbH1toCc interesting story] on Mohanty.[[Saeed Anwar]] had once confessed to Sachin that Mohanty was unplayable). Mohanty had taken [[Saeed Anwar]]'s wicket in 3 matches in [[Sahara Cup]] tournament 1997.
Mohanty also represented [[Odisha cricket team|Odisha]] and [[East Zone cricket team|East Zone]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]] and [[Duleep Trophy]] respectively.
