India's XI on Yuvraj Singh's ODI debut: Where are they now?

Robin Singh

Before Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif arrived, Robin Singh was touted as Team India’s best fielder. The bits and pieces cricketer was known for his aggressive batting in the death overs, and nagging medium pace that had heavy dollops of off-cutters in it.

Born in West Indies, Robin Singh played 136 ODIs and one Test for the Indian team over a period of twelve years. He enjoyed a longer run after getting reinstated in the team at the age of 33, playing till 2001.

Post retirement, he returned in the capacity of the coach of the U-19 team in 2004, and subsequently the India-A side, mentoring players such as Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa and Rohit Sharma. He was appointed as the fielding coach of the Indian team during the 2007 World T20, and was also the first head coach of the Deccan Chargers IPL side. Recently, he was seen coaching the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, as well as the Barbados Tridents in the CPL.
