#3 Munaf Patel

Having made his debut around the same time as Sreesanth, Munaf Patel became one of India’s go to bowlers due to the pace he generated and his ability to reverse swing the ball. However, as the years went by, he lost pace at an alarming rate but continued to generate reasonable success with the Men in Blue. He ended up as India’s 3rd highest wicket-taker in the World Cup.

With the introduction of pacers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, and Mohammed Shami later on, Munaf Patel soon faded away and it is highly unlikely for him to make a comeback into the squad.
