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.
