Maninder Singh pronunciation (help·info) (b. June 13, 1965, Pune, India) is a former international cricket player who represented India in 35 Test matches and 59 one day internationals. With his slow left-arm orthodox spin, Maninder was considered as a heir to spin master Bishan Singh Bedi. He could do justice to this only in the mid 1980s when he was the matchwinner of India's 1986 England tour. But in late 90s, either Maninder lost his rhythm and style or any batsmen could easily handle his orthodox spin. Though now retired from active cricket, Maninder is still in the scene as a cricket commentator.
