The southpaw has delivered some tremendous spells for India in his international career. The 1st Test match at Lord's during India's tour of England in 2007 witnessed one such fine display of reverse swing bowling by RP Singh.

Singh single-handedly decimated England's dangerous middle-order in their 2nd innings. Singh made the best use of the overcast conditions and managed to move the ball quite well.

The way he bowled out Michael Vaughan, Kevin Pietersen, and Ian Bell by moving the ball late was quite fantastic to watch. His bowling figures were 16.3-5-59-5. The match ended in a draw.


#3 Praveen Kumar (106/5, Date- 21/07/'11)

The seasoned bowler has produced some amazing performances for India in his career. His ability to swing the ball both ways and capabilities to utilize overseas conditions made him a strike bowler for India throughout his international career. This spell reflects his abilities to all intents and purpose.

Batting first in the first Test match of India's tour of England in 2007, England put on the scoreboard a huge total of 478, thanks to the magnificent double-century by Kevin Pietersen. Praveen Kumar understood the nature of the wicket better than other Indian bowlers and troubled English batsmen by swinging the ball both ways.

His bowling figures were 40.3-4-106-5. To get an idea of his incredible display of swing bowling at Lord's, one must note that out of his 5 victims, 3 were caught behind the stumps and 2 were LBWs.
