Arjan Kripal Singh

Arjan Kripal Singh (born 13 February 1971), is a former Indian cricketer, right handed batsman and a right arm medium- pace bowler. Singh performed well in the first class cricketing circuit and was selected for the inaugural World U-19 Cup in 1988 in Australia. He made his debut with Ranji Trophy in domestic cricket in the 1988/89 season and was vice captain of the tour in 1989–90. He holds a world record along with W V Raman, the only two batsman who have scored triple centuries in the same innings in first class cricket.

Singh hails from a family of cricketers with 9 members of his family having played in first class cricket circuit, probably the only family in the world to do so. Singh did not play in the international cricket arena and left domestic cricket after the 1995/96 season due to a knee surgery. Arjan is the second cousin of Indian off-spinner Sarandeep Singh, with his grandfather A. G. Ram Singh playing in two unofficial Test matches, his father A. G. Kripal Singh (14 Test matches) and uncle A. G. Milkha Singh (4 Test matches) representing India in Test cricket. Another uncle A.G. Satwender Singh played first class cricket for Madras cricket team and Tamil Nadu cricket team. His brother Swaran Kripal Singh played in domestic cricket briefly. His grandfather hailed from Amritsar, Punjab, settled down in Madras and played for the local team.

After his time in active cricket, he continues to be associated with the BCCI as one of the top match referees in India today.
