Manoj Prabhakar (born 15 April 1963) is a former Indian cricketer. He was a right-arm medium-pace bowler and a lower-order batsman who also opened the innings sometimes for the Indian cricket team until his retirement in 1996. Prabhakar took 96 wickets in Test cricket, 157 wickets in One Day Internationals, and over 385 first class wickets playing for Delhi. He has also played for Durham. Prabhakar is remembered for his bowling which was his strongest suit; using slower balls, and outswingers and opening the bowling. He was also a useful lower-order batsman and a defensive opener. ==Playing career== Prabhakar regularly opened India's batting and the bowling in the same match, one of the few players to do so consistently at international level. He accomplished this 45 times in ODIs and 20 times in Tests, more than any other player in both cases.〔Only instances in the first and second innings are included.

He struggled to bowl well against Sanath Jayasuriya in that match, and had to bowl off-spin in the last two overs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/-sanath-changed-the-face-of-odis-/559523/ )〕 The crowd booed him off the ground.〔 After 1996 World Cup, he was not selected for the Indian team's tour of England. Prabhakar reacted by publicly criticizing the then-Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin and the Board of Control for Cricket in India and accused Azharuddin of involvement in match-fixing. In 1999, Prabhakar participated in Tehelka's expose of match-fixing, but was himself charged of involvement and subsequently banned by the BCCI from playing cricket.〔(CricInfo report )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manoj Prabhakar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
