Munaf Patel is enjoying huge support from the Gujarati community in the UK, according to the Hindustan Times' Sanjjeev Karan Samyal. There are many people from Munaf's region now living in England, and all have a story to tell about how they know him.
There was a security person at Edgbaston during the third Test who was desperate to meet him: "We hail from the same taluka (town) and our village team used to invite him to play important games, mainly in night tournaments. My brother played in that team." Munaf understands the genuine affection and tries his best to oblige as many as he can.
