Harnoor Singh Pannu is a rising star in Indian cricket, driven by a passion that runs deep in his family. Born in Jalandhar, Punjab, on January 30, 2003, cricket was never just a pastime for him; it was a legacy. With a father who played for the U-19 North Zone and a grandfather who graced the Ranji circuit, Harnoor’s journey began early, nurtured by his uncle’s coaching in Chandigarh. His elegant left-handed batting style quickly set him apart, and by the time he reached the 2022 U-19 World Cup, he was ready to shine. There, he played a pivotal role in India’s title-winning campaign, showcasing his ability to build innings and earning accolades as the highest run-scorer in the U-19 Asia Cup.
Yet, the path to professional cricket was not without its hurdles. After debuting in the Ranji Trophy for the UT Cricket Association, Harnoor made a strategic move back to the Punjab Cricket Association, where he truly flourished. In the Sher-e-Punjab T20 Cup, he scored an impressive 578 runs in just 12 matches, hitting 33 sixes along the way. This performance caught the eye of IPL selectors, leading to his selection for ₹30 lakh in the 2025 auction. Now, as part of the Punjab senior team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Harnoor continues to impress, embodying the belief that hard work and passion can turn dreams into reality.
