Ravinder Singh ("Ravi") Bopara (born 4 May 1985, Forest Gate, Newham (London Borough of Newham), London) is an English cricketer who plays for Essex (Essex County Cricket Club) and England (England cricket team). He is the second Sikh to play cricket for England (England cricket team), after Monty Panesar. He was first called up to the England ODI team in 2007, before a difficult Test debut in Sri Lanka saw him dropped in early 2008 after a string of three ducks (duck (cricket)). He regained his place for a Test against the West Indies in the winter of 2008-09, however, and scored a century batting at number three. Bopara held on to the number three position for the May 2009 home Test series against the West Indies, scoring a century in both tests, and was named in the preliminary 2009 Ashes squad.

Bopara has also enjoyed success in the Indian Premier League, where he plays for the Kings XI Punjab.
