Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Prabhakar was included in the Test squad for the England series at home and he made his debut at his home ground, Feroz Shah Kotla. However, he was not selected again for a while and he returned to the Test team for India's tour of Pakistan in 1989. In the first Test match of the series at Karachi in 1989, which was also Sachin Tendulkar's debut match, Prabhakar bagged his maiden fifer before going one step further in the next Test at Faisalabad to claim 6 wickets in an innings. Since then he was a certainty in the side. He bagged his third fifer in Tests against Australia at Perth in 1992. The third Test against New Zealand at Cuttack in 1995 was his last appearance in the longest format of the game. His most noted performance with the bat came against West Indies in 1990 at Mohali when he scored his only century in Tests. He also made nine fifties.
He represented Delhi in first-class cricket and played over 150 games making 7469 runs with a highest of 229 alongside 385 wickets. He also flew to England and played for Durham in their domestic circuit.
After the 1996 World Cup, Prabhakar was dropped for India's England tour, to which the fast bowler voiced strongly against the then captain Mohammad Azharuddin and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He also went on to accuse Azharuddin of match-fixing. He participated in Tehelka's sting operation of match-fixing in 1999 but was himself charged with involvement and was later banned by the BCCI. The controversy brought an end to an international career that spanned across 39 Tests and 130 ODIs.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Manoj Prabhakar was a regular in the Indian side in the early 1990s. His bowling was his strongest suit; Prabhakar mixed cunning slower balls with in- and outswing, and on his day he could be a formidable opponent with the new ball. He once bowled Kepler Wessels for 0 in consecutive Tests - the only ducks Wessels bagged for South Africa in Tests or one-dayers - although he'd be less likely to tell his grandchildren that he was Allan Lamb's only Test wicket. Generally Prabhakar was a useful lower-order batsman, who was turned into a defensive, platform-laying opener to good effect against England in 1992-93. India won only one of Prabhakar's first 23 Tests, then 10 of his last 16, but his career ended in ignominy when he was booed on his home ground at Delhi after getting slaughtered (4-0-47-0) against Sri Lanka in the 1995-96 World Cup. Prabhakar was dropped for the next match and immediately retired. His attempts to implicate others in the match-fixing controversy backfired when he was banned himself for his own alleged involvement. He continued to stay in the news by entering politics and standing unsuccessfully for Parliament. He later took to coaching, and served as Delhi's bowling coach before taking over Rajasthan ahead of the 2009-10 season. Aside from cricket, he heads Naturence Cosmetics.
