Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
In an era where India seemed to be forever in the search for young batsmen and bowlers, it was not hard to see RP Singh making his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in September 2005. He made an immediate splash taking two wickets in his second over. It was not that long for him to make his test debut and he did so in Pakistan in 2007. It was however the tour of England later that year that he came into prominence. He managed his first 5-wicket haul at the famed Lord's and played a huge part in India winning that series after a span of 21 years. He followed it up with crucial strikes in the inaugural T20 World Cup as India romped home against all odds.
The fairytale continued at Perth as India registered a historic victory with RP Singh claiming six wickets. However, he suffered a barren run afterwards and was promptly discarded following a wicket-less series against South Africa at home in 2008. He remained a regular feature in the ODI set up but inconsistency and injury has plagued him from being at his best.
RP Singh was signed up by Deccan Chargers for the inaugural IPL and played a major part in helping his side clinch the trophy when the 2nd season was held in South Africa. He snaffled 23 wickets in 16 matches to become the highest wicket taker and was the proud owner of the purple cap. The Kochi franchise paid US $ 475,000 for his services in the 2011 auction.
RP Singh was a last minute replacement for an injury ravaged Indian team in England, but his returns were a very modest 34 wicket-less overs at the Oval. He was a part of the subsequent ODI series, but failed to create much of an impression and never played the country again.
He then represented the Mumbai Indians in 2012 before moving to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) the next year. However, lack of performances at RCB, and a modest domestic season meant, there were no bidders for him at the 2014 IPL auctions.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Left-arm quick Rudra Pratap Singh first made the headlines in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004, taking eight wickets at 24.75 apiece and bowling well in the slog overs at the end of the innings. Three years later, he was in South Africa toasting India's first World Cup title win since 1983. And a year after that, he led an inspired bowling effort to beat Australia in Perth - a venue where the hosts hadn't lost to any team besides the world-beating West Indies since 1985.
Better still, RP Singh had the ability to move the new ball both ways and reverse the old one. It was that potential that tempted India to pull him out of a holiday and hand him his first Test in three years at The Oval in 2011. He bowled 34 overs, picked no wickets, and after that summer, did not play for India again. At the time, he had played 14 Tests, 58 ODIs and 10 T20Is.
When RP Singh was in top form though, his run-up was smooth, pace nippy, and he had an inswinger that confounded right-handed batsmen. He took 34 wickets in six Ranji Trophy games for Uttar Pradesh in 2003-04, the joint third-highest for the season. He made the national one-day squad at the end of 2005, and took two wickets in his second over of international cricket, against Zimbabwe in Harare in September. He claimed four wickets, and the Man-of-the-Match award, against Sri Lanka in his third game, and three more in his fourth, before a run of four wicketless matches cost him his place in 2006.
He was Man of the Match on his Test debut for some persistent bowling on a shirtfront in Faisalabad in 2006, where Pakistan ran up 588. He drifted out of contention after that, returned for his most prolific season in 2007-08, but began fading away soon after. The IPL gave him another stage to show his wares and his 23 wickets in the 2009 season, when the tournament was played in South Africa, led Deccan Chargers to the title. He has not been part of the tournament since 2013, but was still among the top-15 wicket-takers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2015-16. Limited-overs cricket still seems to suit him best. At the age of 30, he was one of the leaders in Gujarat's title-winning campaign in the Vijay Hazare tournament in the 2015-16 season.
