RP Singh was part of the victorious 2007 T20 World Cup side that was led by MS Dhoni. He was a key member of the squad in that tournament. He played 14 Tests, 58 one-day internationals, and 10 Twenty20 Internationals for India and retired at the age of 32 in 2018.
A couple of days back, RP Singh condoled the demise of his former India teammate Piyush Chawla’s father.
Meanwhile, another cricketer who lost his father due to Covid-19 is Chetan Sakariya, who was a member of the Rajasthan Royals outfit in the recently-suspended IPL.
With medical supplies being stretched to their limit to the country setting new records in daily cases, India as a nation is reeling under the second wave of Covid.
