Former Indian fast bowler RP Singh revealed the toughest batsman he bowled to during his international career. Meanwhile, Rudra Pratap Singh had a really good bowling action which also yielded him desired results.

In fact, the former fast bowler took to micro photo-blogging website Instagram to respond to the trending Question-Answer session. Followers can ask any question. However, their identity wouldn’t be kept anonymous as Sarahah.com did recently which eventually became an instant hit.

Thus, one of RP’s followers asked him the toughest batsman he bowled at. RP played 14 Test matches for the Indian team. He scalped 40 wickets at an average of 42.05.

Furthermore, the left-arm fast bowler represented India in 58 One Day International matches. He took 69 wickets at an average of 33.95. However, a spate of injuries and bad form cut short his International career.

The Uttar Pradesh-based speedster also featured in 10 Twenty20 Internationals for the Men in Blue. The pacer took 15 wickets in the nine innings he bowled.

In fact, he was also part of India’s World T20 Cup-winning squad in 2007 when Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led India routed arch-rivals Pakistan in a most dramatic fashion.

RP also played for now-defunct Deccan Chargers (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He also played for the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS). He played a total of 82 matches in the cash-rich IPL.

Meanwhile, RP revealed that Matthew Hayden was the toughest batsman he bowled at in his International career. Hayden was one of the best Test openers and he liked pushing the bowlers on the backfoot from the word go.

Explosive batsman Hayden had the perfect technique and he scored 8,625 runs in the 103 Test matches he played for the Aussies.

In fact, he had held the record of most runs scored in an innings of 380 runs against Zimbabwe. However, Brian Lara once again made the highest individual score of 400 runs against England.
