Munaf made news when he entered international cricket for he bowled raw pace

When Munaf Patel burst onto the international scene he was deemed as the fastest bowler in the world and it was strange that he belonged to a land famous for producing great batsmen.

In the nine matches that he represented India on West Indian soil, Patel picked up a handsome 14 wickets which included a match-winning spell of 3/35. His wickets came at an average of 28.42 and his economy of 4.88 would have pleased any captain.

However, Munaf could not prolong his career after the 2011 trip to the Windies. He was more consistent with injuries rather than with the ball.

In the last season of the IPL, he was picked up by the Gujarat Lions but could not make any mark. The memory that he will cherish the most from his cricket career is lifting the ICC Cricket World Cup on the 2nd of April, 2011.
