The tall and lanky Munaf Patel was all about discipline as well as line and length. The 35-year-old stuck to the basics. The Gujarat born player made his ODI debut for India on April 3, 2006, and went on to play 70 ODI matches for the Men in Blue.

Patel picked up 86 wickets in his entire ODI career at an economy rate of 4.95. The last ODI he played for India was on September 16, 2011, against England.

The Indian speedster has played for Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Lions in the IPL. He is most remembered for his brilliant performance during the 2011 World Cup wherein he picked up 11 wickets in 8 matches and helped the team to glory.

The veteran pacer officially hung up his boots in November 2018 after failing to get back to form. He did appear for the Rajputs in the T10 League at Sharjah in 2018.

Munaf Patel claimed during his retirement that he has 'no regrets' as almost every one of his era besides MS Dhoni has retired. He is currently trying to comprehend life outside cricket.
