The Power of Dreams in Determining Destiny | Mr. Rudra Pratap Singh | TEDxSRMU

Famous Indian Cricketer and youth icon Mr.R.P.Singh discusses how dreams became his destiny. He recounts his journey from a village boy to an international cricketer representing India. Rudra talks about the decisions he took and the determination, dedication and out-of-the-box thinking which defined his success as a sports person.

Mr. R.P. Singh, Indian Cricketer- first came into prominence during the under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004, when he took eight wickets for a very impressive average of 24.75. He later performed consistently in the Ranji Trophy for Uttar Pradesh and impressive performances saw him earn a place in the ODI side in 2005.

In an era where India seemed to be forever in the search for young batsmen and bowlers, it was not hard to see RP Singh making his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in September 2005. He made an immediate splash taking two wickets in his second over. It was not that long for him to make his test debut and he did so in Pakistan in 2007. It was however the tour of England later that year that he came into the limelight. He managed his first 5-wicket haul at the famed Lord's and played a huge part in India winning that series after a span of 21 years. He followed it up with crucial strikes in the inaugural T20 World Cup as India romped home against all odds.
