Five interesting facts about the retiring Proteas spinner Robin Peterson

#1 The only blemish in India's 2011 World Cup win

Peterson went on to have a great World Cup

Even though India won the 2011 World Cup at home, they suffered one loss in the tournament and that happened at the hands of South Africa, courtesy some final over heroics from Robin Peterson.

In Nagpur, in a closely fought match, South Africa needed 13 off the final over from Ashish Nehra, to win. Robin Peterson was, however, in no mood to let India win, as he smacked a four to start of the over. A six off the second delivery sunk India's hopes as only three runs were required to win in as many balls.

A double and a four finished the game as South Africa snatched an unlikely victory from the hands of India. Peterson went on to have a great World Cup, becoming the highest wicket taker of the tournament for the Proteas. His best bowling figures in ODIs came against Bangladesh in the World Cup, a 4/12 that helped bowl the Tigers out for a meagre 78.
