R.P.Singh is back:-
Rudra Pratap Singh pronunciation (help·info) (born 6 December 1985 in Purebala, Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, India )
is a left arm fast-mediumbowler who has represented India in one day cricket, T20 and Test cricket. He played for Kochi Tuskers Kerala in
the 2011 IPL.
R.P. Singh first
came in contention during the under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004, when he took
eight wickets for a very impressive average of 24.75. He later performed
consistently in the Ranji Trophy for
Uttar Pradesh and impressive performances saw him earn a place in the ODI side
in 2005.
In his third
one-day match, Singh got his first man of the match award as he played his part
as India restricted Sri Lanka to a
modest 196 all out. Swinging the ball on a batting wicket, he took 4 important
wickets to rattle Sri Lanka .
His bowling figures of 8.5 overs, 2 maidens, 35 runs and 4 wickets announced
his arrival on the international stage.
Singh was selected
to make his Test debut in the 2nd Test against Pakistan in Faisalabad, Pakistan in January 2006. He won the man of the
match award on his debut after taking 5 wickets in the match.
Singh's 4
wicket-haul in the fourth match of the one-day series against Pakistan in 2006, helped India
take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series, and won him the man of the match
award. India
went on to win the series 4-1. In his first 11 ODI matches, he was awarded the
man of the match award 3 times.
Singh was favoured
to Sreesanth for the 2006 ICC
Champions Trophy due
to his superior economy rate. However, he was unable to maintain his level of
performance, and was dropped from the side.
In 2006 it was
announced that Singh would be signing for English side Leicestershire as their second overseas signing. He
was however unexpectedly recalled to the Indian side following their poor World
Cup campaign and only made a handful of appearances.
Singh was included
in the Test squad for the tour to England and performed well, taking
5/59 at Lord's his first five-wicket-haul in Tests. In the one-day series he
took seven wickets at 31.71 from five matches.
Singh was selected
to play in the 2007 ICC World
Twenty20 tournament in
South Africa
in September 2007. Singh emerged as the second-highest wicket-taker in the
entire competition, taking 12 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 12.66 runs
per wicket. India won the
12-nation tournament after beating Pakistan in the final. R.P. Singh's
best figures were 4/13 in 4 overs in India 's
final Super-8 stage match in which they eliminated South Africa from the tournament.
Singh was then
selected for India 's one-day
home series against Australia
and Pakistan
that followed, playing four games in each series and picking up a total of 11
wickets.
He plays for the Kochi Tuskers in
the Indian Premier League, after signing for
them in 2011 from the Deccan Chargers. In his second season of the tournament, Singh
was highly successful and he emerged as the highest wicket taker of the
tournament, with 23 from 16 matches thereby winning the Purple Cap. Deccan
Chargers emerged as winners of the tournament. His performance early in the
tournament earned him a spot in the Indian squad for the 2009 ICC World
Twenty20. He is also
the leading all time wicket taker in Indian Premier League with 52 wickets.
He was bought for $600,000 by the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League Players Auction, 2012.
He was bought for $600,000 by the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League Players Auction, 2012.

Role of R.P.Singh in deccan charges:-
He
called it quits from international cricket this year but Sri Lanka ’s
Chaminda Vaas remains an integral part of the Deccan Chargers’ bowling unit.
The left-armer might have missed out during the Chargers’ first outing against
Somerset CCC, but Vaas is excited to be part of the Bulls brigade.
Speaking on his international retirement, Vaas said, “You must know when to call it quits. It was important for me to make way for the youngsters in the team. And they are performing remarkably.”
When asked about his fitness levels since calling it a day, Vaas said, “I have been playing league games inSri Lanka and
that has kept me match fit and it is crucial. You just can’t walk into any form
of the game without match fitness.”
Vaas is beaming with confidence when it comes to play for the Bulls. “It is quite exciting to be part of the Chargers unit. The best aspect of this team is that everyone wants to do well and we revel in each other’s success,” he said.
The Sri Lankan is quite confident of the Chargers show in the upcoming Champions League and pointed out that the conditions will play a key role in every team’s performances. “The conditions here will be different from what we have in other parts of the world. So, it will be interesting to see how the other teams adapt to that,” Vaas said.
Speaking about the cultural appreciation course that the Chargers had before the start of IPL-II, Vaas said, “It did wonders to the morale of the team. It broke the ice with the newcomers in the side. We all are one big family and this has helped us both on and off the field.”
On the bowlers to watch out for in the Champions League, Vaas picked up teammate Rudra Pratap Singh as his favourite.
“He (R.P. Singh) had a dream run in the IPL-II and has been amongst the wickets. If he gets the ball in the right areas, the batsmen could be in serious trouble. He is our trump card,” said the 111-Test veteran.
RP lived upto Vaas’ expectations picking three wickets for 23 runs in the Chargers’ first outing in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 tournament.

RP Singh eyeing India comeback
through Mumbai Indians:-
Indian
Premier League's leading wicket taker, Rudra Pratap Singh, may have been out of
favour in India 's
scheme of things but the left-arm pacer is hoping that season five of the T20
tournament will bring him back in the national reckoning.
The Mumbai Indians bowler, who has 56
The Mumbai Indians bowler, who has 56
wickets from four
seasons in IPL, is eyeing a Team India comeback in September's ICC World T20 in
Sri Lanka .
"IPL is
huge. All the matches are important and I'm happy to have made an impact in the
previous four editions. It gives one a big platform to perform against the
world's best. I've been able to bounce back twice through IPL. This time also,
I'm looking forward to it," he told PTI from Mumbai.
Talking on the
sidelines of Mumbai Indians' practise at the Wankhede, the 26-year-old is not
only working hard on his bowling but he is doing overtime at the nets, honing
his batting skills to come in handy in the death overs.
"I am
working out hard, following a strict schedule. I am raring to go. There are no
fitness concerns. In T20, a bit of batting can also come in handy. I am working
on my batting to contribute to the team's cause," RP said, referring to
his teammates Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga's exploits with the bat.
The left-arm
pacer had successful stints with Deccan Chargers and Kochi Tuskers Kerala, with
him winning the purple cap in season-II when he was with the Hyderabdi side.
The Mumbai side
bought RP for USD 600,000 for IPL-V and the bowler said he feels really lucky
to play with Sachin Tendulkar.
"What can I
say about somebody who is the world's best batsman. I can just say that I'm
lucky to play under him. I'm yet to speak to him after joining here. I'm
looking forward to him."
He further said
they have the top five IPL bowlers, besides boasting of a star-studded batting
line-up.
"We are not
stars, just players. It's a great dressing room. I know each of them. We have a
balanced unit. I'm looking forward to contribute to the team's cause."
The Uttar
Pradesh pacer had to go through a frustrating time in the last few months when
he was rushed to England
after Zaheer Khan's injury but only to be ignored for the Central Zone's team
for Duleep and Deodhar Trophy.
He said he did
not want to talk about selection matters.
"There will
be ups and downs. But you will have to keep trying. Selection is not in my
hands. I am just giving my best," he said.
