Rudra Pratap Singh is another of the current crop of cricketers who hail from small towns and states, yet have made it big in the most famous sport in the country. He comes from Uttar Pradesh and joins Praveen Kumar, Suresh Raina and Mohd. Kaif in the Indian team. He 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. Since then, he has earned a growing reputation as a strike bowler at the death and with his clever mix of short pitched & full length deliveries is a hand full for any batsman. He made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2005 and later followed it up with his test debut on the tour to Pakistan in 2006. At Faisalabad, he took five wickets on a placid pitch to win the man-of-the-match award. He was recalled for the tours of Bangladesh and England in 2007 and since then has added to his arsenal, the incoming delivery, which is especially deceiving when he bowls from round-the-wicket. He was bought by the Hyderabad Deccan Chargers to play in the IPL and at one time was the leading wicket taker in the tournament.
