Singh has represented India in one Test and 136 ODIs in the span from 1989 to 2001 and has to his name 2236 runs at an average of 25.95 along with 69 wickets in his ODI career. The agile fielder and a handy all rounder has made his name in coaching over the years.

Robin has been associated with Mumbai Indians, IPL’s most successful side, CPL side Barbados Tridents and T10 franchises too. The 56-year-old has also conducted coaching clinics in the UAE.

Apart from franchise cricket, Robin has also coached USA and Hong Kong and is now in charge of cleaning up the mess left behind by the scandal which involved senior players and officials of the board.
