Amritsar Govindsingh Ram Singh (14 July 1910 – 11 August 1999) was an Indian first-class cricketer. An allrounder, he bowled slow left-arm orthodox and was a left-handed middle order batsman. His sons A. G. Kripal Singh and A. G. Milkha Singh played Test cricket for India.[1]
Ram Singh played for Madras and was just the second player to achieve the Ranji Trophy double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets.[1] He was the first bowler to take 5 wickets in an innings and 10 wickets in a match in the Ranji Trophy. He achieved that feat in November 1934, in the first match of the Ranji Trophy, playing for Madras against Mysore, and finishing with 11 wickets for 34.[2] He took his best ever innings figures of 8 for 14 the next season, in a Madras Presidency Match, playing for the Indians against the Europeans, when he took 13 for 49 in the match and also hit 70, the highest score on either side.[3]
He was a much loved cricket coach for the schoolboys of Sir M Venkatasubba Rao Boys School in T Nagar, Madras, during the late 1970s and the 1980s. His dedication to the game and to the young cricketers was something which those he coached have kept very close to their cricketing hearts.[4]
