Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
More was part of the Indian setup at the 1992 World Cup. In a match against Pakistan, his excessive appealing forced Javed Miandad to mock him by leaping up and down. More did not make any significant contributions with the bat in ODIs, while his 73 against New Zealand at Napier in 1990 was his best knock in Tests. He lost his place in the Indian side to Baroda team-mate Nayan Mongia in 1993.
More spent his time with Baroda in 1998, before hanging up his boots. In 2002, he was appointed as the Chairman of selectors for India, a post he held for four years. More joined the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL), back in 2007 along with former India captain Kapil Dev and several others, and was banned by the BCCI with immediate effect. However, in 2012, he was granted amnesty, which allowed him to return to the fold of the parent cricket body.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Kiran More was one of those gutsy little keepers who always relished a challenge, even thrived under it. It falls to a keeper's unhappy lot that he is only noticed when he fluffs a chance and More had the misfortune of putting down Graham Gooch, then on 36, on his way to a mammoth 333 at Lord's in 1990. More will be better remembered though for his fiercely competitive streak that garnered 130 dismissals and 1285 runs in 49 Tests. More than the statistics, it was his approach that set him apart. Indeed his chirpy appealing tended to get under the skin of his opponents leading Javed Miandad to do a puckish jumping jack imitation of More at the 1992 World Cup.
After spending time as understudy to Syed Kirmani on the West Indies
tour of 1982-83 and the Australian tour of 1985-86, More finally
became India's No.1 keeper on the tour of England in 1986, where he
took 16 catches in three Tests to firmly keep his rivals at arm's
length. The second most successful Indian Test keeper after Kirmani,
More still holds the Test records for most stumpings in an innings
(five) and in a match (six). Both were accomplished during Hirwani's
Test at Madras in 1987-88. The pinnacle of his career came in 1990
when he was appointed vice captain to Azharuddin on the tour of New
Zealand. More's never say die attitude was symbolised by the two fours
in two balls that he swept off Tom Moody in the last over against
Australia at the Gabba in the 1992 World Cup to bring India closer to
an improbable victory. Of course an ambitious paddle sweep then put
paid to his innings but you certainly can't fault the man for not
trying. After being left out from the Test side in 1994 in favour of
another Baroda product in Nayan Mongia, More continued for a few more
seasons in domestic cricket before turning his attention to
coaching. He now runs a flourishing cricket academy in his home town. From 2003 to 2006, he served as the chairman of the national selection panel. The year after that he joined the ICL as an executive director.
