Munaf Patel belongs to a small village called Ikhar in Bharuch district of Gujrat. His family never approved of his interest in cricket. But, destiny had other plans. None of the people in his village had ever thought that their village would ever become famous for a game called cricket. Kiran More sent Patel to MRF Academy after seeing him bowl at the Nets. Having learnt some bowling tactics form Dennis Lilley, Sachin Tendulkar took interest in Patel and helped him getting included in the Mumbai team. In the first season of IPL, Patel along with Shane Watson and Sohail Tanvir handled the new ball.
