Had it not been the IPL RP Singh would not have got an opportunity to pay for Indian team once again, but after being the most successful bowler he has been picked up in the Indian squad for T20 World Cup. After all, he is the bowler who has won the purple cap in the second season of the IPL for his bowling performance. It is his contribution with the ball in the IPL that has helped his team Deccan Chargers to be in the reckoning for a semi-final berth. Before his performance in IPL, it was talked about that with Zaheer Khan being a left hand bowler and Ishant Sharma a right hand bowler there was no place for RP in the team, as he is fondly called! He is hardly 23 years of age, and the conditions in England would indeed suit his style of bowling and he should be able to cement his place in the Indian team for quite a long time to cone.

In the IPL bowlers ranking, RP Singh is closely followed by Lasith Malinga the unconventional bowler from Sri Lanka who has been out of the Sri Lankan team for quite a long time. He has left it behind and come up with such an intriguing performance that it has become literally impossible for most of the batsmen in the world, playing in the IPL to read him through the air. No wonder, Malinga also find a place in the Sri Lankan team for the 20-20 World Cup to be held in England. He has really become unplayable on account of his ability to bowl yorker after yorker coupled with the awkward angle created by his slinging action that literally puts the tournament's best batsmen on the mat.

Former South African fast bower eulogizing about Malinga said if he does not lose his pace and variation, then with the kind of action that he has he cane be the most dangerous bowler in the world.

Appearing from the shadow of such eminent bowlers, Yusuf Abdulla, the South African bowler who plays for the Kings XI Punjab owing to his performance has also made his way into the South African squad for World T20 Cup.
