RP Singh last played for India in 2011

RP Singh, from 2006 to 2008, was at the peak of his career and one of the best assets of the Indian Team. From winning the man-of-the-match award on debut against Pakistan to spearheading historic wins in Australia, the Uttar Pradesh-born pacer remained in the limelight for quite some time.

He had the ability to move the new ball both ways, and his inswingers were the biggest trouble for right-handed batsmen. However, in 2011 against England, he bowled 34 overs and went wicketless, which effectively ended his international career that could have been extended with a few more chances.

RP Singh was only 25 when he last wore the Indian jersey. He played 14 Tests, 58 ODIs, and 10 T20Is, grabbing 40, 69 and 15 wickets respectively.
