'''Munaf Patel''' (born 12 July 1983) is a former [[Indian cricket team|Indian]] [[cricketer]] who played all formats of the game. He has also played for the [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]] in the [[Duleep Trophy]] and [[Gujarat cricket team|Gujarat]], [[Mumbai cricket team]] and [[Maharashtra cricket team]] in domestic arena. In November 2018, he announced his retirement from cricket.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1164790.html |title=World Cup winner Munaf Patel retires from competitive cricket |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=10 November 2018}}</ref> He was born in Ikhar, [[Gujarat]], India.

He is a supporter of Youth Against Rape, a [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] started from [[instagram]].

==Domestic career==
Patel first gained prominence in 2003 at the age of 20 before he had even played first class cricket for Gujarat, when he was invited to the [[MRF Pace Foundation]] in [[Chennai]] by the [[India national cricket team|Indian]] chairman of selectors [[Kiran More]]. There he attracted the attention of visiting [[Australia national cricket team|Australian]] captain [[Steve Waugh]], and the director [[Dennis Lillee]], a former Australian fast bowler, with his raw pace. With the backing of [[Sachin Tendulkar]], he was signed by Mumbai in a transfer deal, in late 2003, without ever representing his native Gujarat.

He was a part of Mumbai Indians till IPL 6 after playing three seasons with Rajasthan Royals,
however, in 2014 IPL Auctions, he was unsold by having a low base price of 10 Lakhs only.
In the tenth season of the Indian Premier League he was picked by Gujarat Lions for 30 lakh rupees.

==International career==
===Doorstep to national team===
In 2004, he struggled with injuries, and was criticised by India A coach [[Sandeep Patil]], who believed that he had a mental problem dealing with his injuries. He was also sent to [[Australian Institute of Sport]] for bio-mechanical analysis on his bowling action, to improve its efficiency. In August 2005, he transferred to Maharashtra, and after taking 10 wickets against [[England cricket team|England]] in a tour match for the Board President's XI, he was rewarded with his selection in the Indian Test Squad for the 2nd Test against England in [[Mohali]], when he made his Test debut. Patel recorded the figures of 7/97 on debut, including 4/25 in the second innings and demonstrated an ability to swing the ball in both directions.

===Early career===
In the 2005–2006 Test Series against [[West Indies]], Munaf proved he was arguably the fastest bowler in India, [[bowling (cricket)|bowling]] regularly at speeds of over {{convert|85|mph}} and has produced balls at a pace over the {{convert|90|mph}} mark.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} However, more impressive than his ability to bowl at a very quick pace has been his control, a skill lacking in recent Indian fast bowlers. In the West Indies, however, Munaf suffered the ignominy of being hit for 6 fours in an over by [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]]. Patel fell short of the record of conceding the [[List of Test cricket records#Most runs in an over|most runs off an over]] by 4 runs.

In the second match of the DLF Cup in Malaysia, Munaf came up with figures of 3/54 against Australia, picking up the wickets of [[Phil Jaques]], [[Michael Clarke (cricketer)|Michael Clarke]] and [[Stuart Clark]]. In the final game of the same tournament, he dismissed Australian captain [[Ricky Ponting]] for just 4, on the way to 1/32 off 9 overs.

In the first match of the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy]] against England, Munaf Patel again produced figures of 3/18 – winning the match for India and gaining the man of the match award.

===2007 World cup failure===
He was part of the Indian [[2007 Cricket World Cup|2007 World Cup]] squad which failed to progress from the group stage and played during India's One-day International series against Bangladesh shortly after the tournament before playing two games in England in August 2007. He took four wickets before being ruled out of the remainder of the series through injury. He was subsequently left out of the squad to play Pakistan in November although was recalled to the Test squad following injuries to [[R. P. Singh]] and [[S. Sreesanth]].<ref>[http://www.cricketworld.com/pakistan_in_india/article/?aid=13909 Sreesanth And RP Singh To Miss Opening Test], ''[[Cricket World]]'', Retrieved on 20 November 2007</ref>

===2011 World Cup - SUCCESS===
He was selected for the 2009 tour to Sri Lanka and played in the opening match. He bowled five wicketless overs for 32 runs. He then picked up a groin injury before the second match and was replaced in the squad by [[Lakshmipathy Balaji]].<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/slvind2009/content/story/388707.html Balaji replaces injured Munaf for SL tour], [[Cricinfo]]</ref>

He was brought back into the ODI squad for India's last preparatory series before the [[2011 Cricket World Cup|2011 World Cup]], with the series taking place in South Africa. After India were beaten in the first match, they made only 190 when [[M. S. Dhoni]] chose to bat first in the second match. However, Patel put in a Man of the Match performance to return personal best figures of 4/29 off nine overs, taking the final wicket of [[Wayne Parnell]] to lead India to a 1-run victory,{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} India's first against South Africa in South Africa since 2003. He was eventually named in India's World Cup squad. In India's first World Cup match against Bangladesh, Patel took four wickets, albeit with India defending a comfortable 370 run target. In the match against England, Patel's catch off his own bowling to dismiss [[Kevin Pietersen]] broke up an opening partnership in a match which England and India would eventually tie.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} He played an important role in the India Pakistan semi-final match at Mohali where he performed well and also played in the finals of the World Cup.

He last played for India on the [[Indian cricket team in England in 2011|2011 tour of England]].
