Robin Singh
Wisden CricInfo staff - July 5, 2001
Wisden overview Robin Singh, an athletic allrounder, has tenacity and commitment as his greatest allies. In his second coming at 33 -- seven years after he made his international debut in his birthplace, Trinidad -- sharp, gutsy pressure-play earned him a regular place in India's one-day team. A master of the quick single, and a powerful, flat hitter over the leg side, he is a valuable batsman at the death -- and occasionally, in pursuit of big totals, up at No. 3. His military-medium offcutters can be useful in the middle overs, but his bigger contribution in the field is manning the cover-point region, where he stops certain boundaries and holds improbable catches. Short of Test class with both bat and ball, he will nevertheless be remembered for shrugging aside his limitations and getting on with the job. Rahul Bhattacharya
