Manjeet Singh Maan

Manjeet Singh Maan, born on 1st January 2002, has emerged as a formidable figure in the contemporary cricket scene. Hailing from the bustling lanes of Chandigarh, Manjeet's love for cricket was ignited at a tender age when he first handled a cricket bat on the dusty pitches of his local school. His early affiliation with the game quickly transformed into a relentless pursuit of excellence, honed on the playgrounds of Punjab, under the watchful eye of his first coach, the venerable Mr. Rajendra Kumar.

Manjeet’s professional journey took a leap in 2020 when he debuted in the domestic league, representing Punjab. His ability to adapt his batting strategy, swapping gritty defence with explosive aggression, left spectators and selectors equally impressed. This adaptability soon became a hallmark of his gameplay, catapulting him into the national consciousness.

By 2022, Manjeet was a fixture in the national team, contributing significantly to India's triumph in the Under-19 World Cup.

Manjeet isn’t just a one-dimensional player. While predominantly known for his batting prowess, his occasional stints with the ball display an underrated versatility. His approach to bowling is rather unconventional; though not his strongest suit, his knack for breaking partnerships at crucial junctures has often proven invaluable. His deceptive off-spin in the Ranji Trophy final of 2023 became a pivotal moment in sealing the victory for his state, Punjab.

Rivalries have always surfaced in Manjeet's journey. Encounters with Delhi’s steely bowling attack have resulted in some memorable duels.
