Left-arm medium pace bowler R P Singh has made his way into the 15-member Indian team for the next month's ICC World Twenty20 to be played in England.

RP Singh has been one of the most sensational bowlers in the IPL this year. He has already taken 12 wickets in six games for the Deccan Chargers at an impressive average rate of 6.27 runs per over. RP will lead the bowling attack with Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar and Irfan Pathan. Moreover, he will also like to exploit the seaming bowling conditions in England.
