5 Unsung heroes of India's 2011 World Cup Win
9 years ago, on 2nd of April India defeated Sri Lanka and won their 2nd World Cup trophy.
4. Munaf Patel
Munaf Patel, the former Indian pacer didn’t get the honour equivalent to his performances in World Cup 2011. He was one of the most trusted weapons of MS Dhoni in the mega-event. Whenever the Indian skipper found himself struggling, he used to introduce Munaf Patel in the bowling attack.
Moreover, the fast bowler also managed to live up to the expectations on the majority of the occasions. Munaf Patel accounted for a total of 11 wickets in 8 games for Team India at a low economy rate of 5.36. He also grabbed a four wicket-haul against Bangladesh in the opening match registering amazing bowling figures of 4-48.
He was a vital part of Team India during the 2011 World Cup, who used to give a perfect balance to the bowling unit. Munaf was not a big impact player but an essential one. And, his performances speak a lot about his contribution with the ball.
