Indeed, from these humble beginnings, his journey is one of sheer determination and love for the game.

Gurjit's professional debut came after years of honing his skills in domestic tournaments, notably making waves in the Under-19 circuit. His debut in first-class cricket in 2013 was nothing short of impressive, as he harnessed his dual role as a batsman and bowler, taking vital wickets while also contributing critical runs in the middle order. The versatility displayed by Gurjit quickly made him a fixture in his state team and eventually led to his selection for the national squad.

Over the years, Gurjit has amassed numerous accolades and has been a part of several championship wins.

His spells are characterised by a blend of pace and cunning, often resulting in breakthroughs at crucial junctures in matches. A career-defining performance came against rival team Australia in a one-day international where his 4/28 was instrumental in securing a series win.
