Ravipal Singh

Ravipal Singh, born on the 28th of March 1992, in the bustling city of Jaipur, had his heart set on cricket from an early age. Encouraged by his father, a fervent cricket enthusiast, Ravipal spent his childhood days at the local grounds, honing his skills for hours on end. His natural flair with the bat caught the attention of scouts, and soon he was representing his school and then Jaipur in age-group cricket.

As he made his way through the ranks, Ravipal's adaptability stood out. By the age of 20, he had already made a mark in domestic cricket with a bold and aggressive playstyle that suggested an old head on young shoulders. His breakthrough came in the Ranji Trophy season of 2014-15, where his sublime performances earned him a spot in Rajasthan’s state team. He quickly became their linchpin batsman, known for his ability to rescue innings and take the game away from the opposition.

Ravipal’s professional debut was nothing short of spectacular. He joined the national squad in 2017 during a crucial series against South Africa. In only his third match, he delivered an explosive 137, against all odds and on a challenging pitch, which made the world sit up and take notice. His innings was not just about power; it was a glittering exhibition of technique and temperament, poised right when he fell.

Over the next few years, Singh accumulated achievements that would be the envy of many. He was an integral part of the team that clinched the Asia Cup in 2018, contributing pivotal innings throughout the tournament. While he was primarily a batsman, his occasional off-spin bowling added an invaluable facet to his game, allowing the team to maintain flexibility on the field.

Among the myriad of memorable matches, his rivalry with Pakistan’s ace bowler, Hasan Ali, stands prominent. Their on-field duels, particularly during the tense World T20 semi-finals in 2021, were the stuff of legends, epitomising sporting rivalry at its finest.

Ravipal Singh’s impact on cricket transcended numbers. His courage under fire, his clever tactics against formidable opponents, and his insatiable hunger for runs have seen him etch his name indelibly into the annals of the sport. A hero to budding cricket enthusiasts worldwide, Singh’s legacy is a testament to his enduring passion and commitment to cricket.
