@rpsingh. WT20 2007.
Ind 153/5, SA 0/11 (1 over)
On strike: @hershybru.
Ind and SA were up against each other in a virtual QF match. We had to restrict SA to less than 126 if we had any hope of reaching the SF. The 1st over, however,...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">
India is fired up. @rpsingh charges in and bowls another inswinger to @ABdeVilliers17, who takes a single. Then bowls a perfect outswinger to @GraemeSmith49 who negotiates it calmly. In comes the 4th ball. RP bowls this one slightly more away from Smith and snares him..https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3">
.. into playing an expensive drive. The ball however catches the outside edge and flies to 2nd slip where @DineshKarthik holds on to a ripper. In no time though, SA were 12/2 and India sensed an opening afterall. @sreesanth36 then bowls a beauty to dismiss @ABdeVilliers17. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4">
.. wickets among the bowlers in the tournament (highest for India). The UP boy was finally realizing his dreams of being a match winner for India.

@rpsingh came into reckoning through his U19 WC performance in Bangladesh in 2004 where he had taken 8 wickets at an avg of 24 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="7️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 7" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 7">
..where he amassed 3 MOM awards in 11 matches. His superior ER and wicket taking abilities got him into the side that was selected for the CT2006 tournament. However, string of poor performances meant he was dropped from the side soon and came back into the team after the.. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="9️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 9" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 9">
..2007 WC debacle when Ind toured Eng in 2007.
His return was equally lethal as he became Ind& #39;s leading wicket taker from the period May 2007- May 2008. He took 68 wickets in total at an avg of 32 and ER of mere 4.2. This period included 2007WC, Ind& #39;s win in Eng & Perth..https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔟" title="Taste 10" aria-label="Emoji: Taste 10">

He took 12 wickets in 3 test matches in Eng that included inngs best 5/59 at Lord& #39;s and match figure of 7/117 and took key wickets in Nottingham that..https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">
.. helped India in restricting England in their 2nd innings to set a moderate target of 73. His performance made him 3rd highest wicket taker in the series behind @ImZaheer and @anilkumble1074.

Hope you all enjoy this month& #39;s forgotten warrior episode and get to remember one of the best WC spells by an Indian bowler. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4">
