Switchblade Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Quote https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/former-india-pacer-r-p-singh-retires/story-xYFzZw0YZ4VO44AbHKLrvI.html “13 years ago today, on 4th September 2005 was the first time I donned the Indian jersey. It was the stepping-stone to what would become the most cherished moments of my life,” Singh wrote on his Twitter account. “Today as I hang my boots and call it a day, I wish to remember and give thanks to each and everyone who made this journey possible,” he said. His international career spanned six years and the pacer played 82 matches across all three formats and picked up over 100 wickets. “For someone born in a small village, I never thought I would be able to say this – I have lived my dream. And for that I have nobody else to thank but you. My fans. For believing in me, for criticizing me and for hailing me but mainly for just being there for me. Thank you!,” 32 year old Singh signed off. Surprised he only played 82 games thought he played more than that. Edited September 4, 2018 by Switchblade UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Popular Post speedheat Posted September 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2018 As long as dhoni is there I don't trust this retirement he might get called from whichever island he is holidaying, you never Know On serious note, he had potential to do lot more than what he did, wish he had worked on fitness. Some of his spells in t20 WC 2007 and 2006 pak tour are still my favorites. Good luck to him. raki05, Switchblade, Laaloo and 7 others 2 7 1 Link to comment
MechEng Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Jokes apart, he used to be the third fastest bowler in 2007 behind Akhtar and Lee. He was even faster than Johnson and Steyn at that time. Sgattick10, express bowling, DHONI_FANN and 1 other 4 Link to comment

The Realist Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Legend. Answered Dhoni's SOS from the beaches of Miami in 2011 despite having a Cheerleader body. Should have been called up to the Asia squad. Could have acted as a mentor to the youngsters some of whom are older than him. Adi BB, The Dark Horse, Sgattick10 and 5 others 2 6 Link to comment
