R P Singh

R P Singh lit up IPL seasons with raw left-arm pace and trademark swing that troubled the best batsmen. Rising through the ranks with Deccan Chargers, he formed a lethal new-ball pair, delivering match-turning spells in crunch games that powered the franchise to its maiden title. Known for his ability to strike early and nail yorkers at the death, Singh became a sought-after asset across multiple franchises including Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Mumbai Indians. His spell-binding show in the 2009 final remains a tournament classic, while consistent performances in high-pressure chases showcased his big-game temperament. Even in later stints, the swing king’s experience proved invaluable for emerging Indian quicks sharing the dressing room.

R P Singh IPL legacy: 90 wickets in 82 bowling innings, 11 three-wicket bursts and a best of 4 for 27 delivered between 2008 and 2016 for six different franchises. The left-arm pacer's peak came with Sunrisers Hyderabad where he opened the attack for three straight seasons, rattling batters at a strike rate of 19.72 balls per wicket while keeping the economy under eight. Across 1775 balls he conceded 2338 runs, but the real story is in the breakthroughs—every 19th ball brought a wicket and every 7.5 innings produced a three-for. A handy lower-order striker when needed, Singh scored 52 runs off 76 balls, clearing the ropes once and finding the fence twice, yet it was with ball in hand that he shaped matches. From the inaugural 2008 season to his final 2016 cameo with Rising Pune Supergiants, RP Singh remained one of IPL’s most consistent left-arm speedsters, remembered for swing, seam and a knack for timely scalps.
