 Indian
Cricket all-rounder, Robin Singh has earned for himself the
title of 'Veteran Crisis Manager'.
This left-handed batsman and right-arm medium pacer is also
among the best fielders in the side.
Born in Trinidad, Robin Singh's talent helped make him
Captain of the Under-19 Trinidad Cricket team. He came to
Chennai in response to an offer from the Madras Cricket
Club.
His 4 centuries and 17 wickets helped Tamil Nadu take the
Ranji Trophy in 1987-88. But this launch into the National
team turned awry after India's disastrous tour of the West
Indies in 1989. Robin Singh was dropped and he returned to
the National team only after 7 years. In this period he
performed admirably for Tamil Nadu and eventually led the
State team.
At 33, when most sportsmen contemplate retirement, Robin
Singh came back into the national team. And he has become
the fighting face of Indian cricket, in the midst of
several batting collapses.
