Harnoor Singh

Harnoor Singh, born on January 30, 2003, in Jalandhar, Punjab, began his cricketing journey at the age of 10. Coming from a family with a strong cricketing background—his father was a former U-19 North Zone player and his grandfather a Ranji cricketer—Harnoor’s early career was shaped under the guidance of his uncle, who coached him in Chandigarh. His natural left-handed batting style and ability to build innings quickly became evident during his formative years in local matches.

Singh gained national recognition during the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was a key contributor to India’s championship victory. In the same year, he emerged as the highest run-scorer in the U-19 Asia Cup, earning the Player of the Tournament award. These performances underscored his potential, preparing him for the transition to professional cricket. He made his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy for the UT Cricket Association (UTCA) against Baroda in 2022, scoring 46 runs. A pivotal moment in his career followed when he decided to return to his home state, joining the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA).

His move to Punjab proved fruitful. In the Sher-e-Punjab T20 Cup, he delivered a dominant performance, accumulating 578 runs in just 12 matches, including 33 sixes, which solidified his reputation as a reliable and aggressive top-order batter. This success led to his acquisition by Punjab Kings for his base price of ₹30 lakh in the IPL 2025 auction. In October 2025, Singh made a significant return to Punjab, scoring 170 off 343 balls against Kerala in his state debut, showcasing remarkable temperament. The 2025-26 season further highlighted his abilities across formats, prominently with a score of 115 off 114 balls in the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Chandigarh. He is currently a part of the Punjab senior team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and is being developed by Ricky Ponting’s coaching to provide batting stability for the Punjab Kings.
