==Domestic career==
In December 2009, it was revealed that Peterson had signed up with [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club|Derbyshire]] on a [[Kolpak ruling|Kolpak]] contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketworld.com/uk_county_cricket/derbyshire/article/?aid=22568|title=Derbyshire Sign All-Rounder Peterson|publisher=Cricket World|date=1 December 2009|access-date=2 December 2009|archive-date=2 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102142550/http://cricketworld.com/uk_county_cricket/derbyshire/article/?aid=22568|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He attended Alexander Road High School in Port Elizabeth and matriculated in 1997.

He was bought by the [[Mumbai Indians]] in the 2012 [[Indian Premier League]] players auction for $100,000.<ref>{{cite web|title=IPL auction 2012|url=http://cricket.yahoo.com/news/ipl-auctions--big-bucks-for-jadeja--no-takers-for-laxman.html|access-date=4 February 2012|archive-date=5 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205191817/http://cricket.yahoo.com/news/ipl-auctions--big-bucks-for-jadeja--no-takers-for-laxman.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==International career==
He holds the dubious distinction of being the bowler from whom [[Brian Lara]] scored a tally of 28 runs in a single Test match over, a world record at the time.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/233006.html |title= Most runs off one over |publisher= www.cricinfo.com}}</ref>

He was the last bowler to dismiss [[Ricky Ponting]] in [[Test cricket]], having him caught at slip by [[Jacques Kallis]] after Ponting made just 8 runs in his final Test innings. In 2013, Peterson conceded 35 runs in an over during an ODI against Sri Lanka, [[Thisara Perera]] striking 34 runs in boundaries with one [[Wide (cricket)|wide]] delivery.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fidel Fernando |first1=Andrew |title=Perera punishes Peterson |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/plays-of-the-day-thisara-perera-punishes-robin-peterson-655555 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=22 June 2024 |date=26 July 2013}}</ref>

===ICC World Cup 2011===
Peterson's 4 for 12 versus Bangladesh is his best bowling performance in ODIs, surpassing his 3 for 22 against England in Chennai. He also hit a quickfire 21 to help his team win against India.<ref>{{cite web|title=South Africa vs Bangladesh, ICC World Cup 2011|date=19 March 2011 |url=https://iccworld-cup2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/south-africa-vs-bangladesh-mirpur-19th.html|publisher =CricketArchives}}</ref> He finished the tournament as the highest South African wicket-taker of the tournament with 15 wickets at an average of 15.86 runs.<ref name="retire" />
