Indian Bowlers on Lord's Honor Board

#11 R P Singh

R P Singh

India was touring England with probably the best bowling combination in past few years. It had the balance of experience and young talent. The pack that was led by Anil Kumble, had the experience of Zaheer Khan and the likes of Sreesanth and R P Singh. They had good skills to move the ball and were expected to do well in England.

With the collective bowling effort in the first innings, India was able to restrict England at 298. In the second innings, R P Singh displayed his superior swing bowling skills and picked 5 wickets for 59. He got the support from Zaheer Khan, who picked up 4 wickets. But the highlight was R P Singh bowling in-swingers from around the wicket and perforating defence of the middle order batsmen. The Test match ended in a draw but India was able to win the test series after 36 years.
