Will be remembered for being the Indian cricketer with possibly the greatest disparity between real age and stated age. 

That would be between him and Praveen Kumar. There was no way Praveen Kumar was 21 years of age in the CB series of 2007.

Good luck for post playing career

For a guy who grew up in a village and was working in a tile factory for Rs 35 a day to make it to the highest level of the game is an awesome achievement. It’s also great that Indian cricket had evolved to the point where it was able to find talented players like Munaf and work to get him to achieve at this level. Munaf helped to win us a World Cup. He can be very proud of achieving something very few have done, or will be able to do. 

 

 

Great post. His was the true rags to riches story, not riches in terms of money but this raw talented villager eventually playing for the country. It’s very deserving of a movie or book.
