'''Ravinder Senghera''' (born 25 January 1947) is an Indian-born former English [[first-class cricket]]er who played a number of times for [[Worcestershire County Cricket Club|Worcestershire]] in the mid-1970s. He also played one game for [[Derrick Robins|D. H. Robins]]' XI in 1974.<br />
<br />
After a number of games for Worcestershire's second team, Senghara broke into the first eleven in May 1974 against [[Cambridge University Cricket Club|Cambridge University]]. Worcestershire declared their first innings at 388/1 ([[Glenn Turner|Turner]] 202[[not out|*]]) and eventually won [[the result in cricket|by an innings]], so Senghera did not get to bat, but he claimed five wickets in the match, his maiden scalp being that of [[Peter Hayes (cricketer)|Peter Hayes]]. A couple of weeks later he played against [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]] and did even better, taking 8–108 in the match; his first-innings 5-81 remained his only five-wicket haul. He made no further county appearances that year, but did turn out (albeit rather ineffectually) for DH Robins' XI against the [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistanis]] at [[Eastbourne]].<br />
<br />
In 1975, Senghera again played only a handful of games, and ten first-class wickets [[bowling average|at 57.40]] was a less than satisfactory return. There were a couple of minor bright spots only: he hit a fighting 36 not out as part of an unbroken last-wicket stand of 58 with [[Norman Gifford]] (30*) against [[Gloucestershire County Cricket Club|Gloucestershire]], and he also took the first of only two career [[one-day cricket|one-day]] wickets when he dismissed [[Kent County Cricket Club|Kent]]'s [[John Shepherd (cricketer)|John Shepherd]] in June. (His other one-day wicket was that of [[Clive Rice]] of [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]] in 1976, but the gap between them was only two days short of a year.)<br />
<br />
1976 saw Senghera enjoy his only extended run in the Worcestershire team, making 16 first-class and eight [[List A cricket|List A]] appearances, but he did not make the most of this opportunity. Although more effective than in the previous season, he remained somewhat expensive with the ball, averaging 42.73 for his 34 first-class wickets, while in the one-day game he sent down 28.3 overs but took only the aforementioned wicket of Rice, for a total cost of 146 runs. As a batsman he fell away badly in scoring only 221 runs in 20 first-class innings and 40 in five List A games.<br />
<br />
Senghara's last game was in early September 1976, when he picked up the single wicket of [[Zaheer Abbas]] in Worcestershire's nine-wicket defeat by Gloucestershire.<br />
