Profile
Left-arm quick Rudra Pratap Singh first made the headlines in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004, taking eight wickets at 24.75 apiece and bowling well in the slog overs at the end of the innings. Three years later, he was in South Africa toasting India’s first World Cup title win since 1983. And a year after that, he led an inspired bowling effort to beat Australia in Perth – a venue where the hosts hadn’t lost to any team besides the world-beating West Indies since 1985.
