Deep Singh

Deep Singh’s cricketing odyssey began in the dusty lanes of Ludhiana, where his father first introduced him to the khel's charm. Born on 6th December 1990, Deep’s early days were spent emulating the strokes of legends on makeshift pitches. His natural flair with the bat soon caught the eye of local coaches, and by his teens, he was donning the jersey of Punjab’s junior teams.

A right-handed batsman, Deep carved out a reputation for his elegant cover drives and a steely nerve in clutch situations. His journey to professional cricket wasn’t a mere glide. Rather, it was filled with sweat-soaked afternoons and countless bruises. His breakthrough came in the Ranji Trophy season of 2010-11, where he amassed over 800 runs in a campaign that announced his arrival on the big stage. This performance earned him a debut in the national team in an ODI against New Zealand in 2012, marking the start of an illustrious, albeit challenging, international career.

Singh’s tenure in international cricket has been adorned with numerous memorable performances. One of the pinnacles was in 2015 when he played a pivotal role in India’s triumphant ICC Champions Trophy campaign. His innings of 95 not out in the semi-final against South Africa remains etched in cricketing folklore, underscoring his ability to anchor an innings and strike at opportune moments.

Among several rivalries, it was the contests against Pakistan that brought out the best in him. His duels with Pakistan’s fiery pacers were particularly riveting, showcasing not just his technical acumen but an indomitable spirit.

An adaptable batsman, Singh is known for his solid technique and calculative shot selection, which have often guided his team to safety from precarious positions. Although primarily celebrated for his batting, Singh’s right-arm fast-medium bowling provided a handy option, particularly on seaming tracks or in high-pressure moments, often breaking crucial partnerships.

Beyond statistics and accolades, Deep Singh’s legacy in cricket is defined by unforgettable moments and an innate passion that inspired a generation. Perhaps one of the most significant instances was during the 2018 Test series in England, where his resilience against the swinging Dukes ball was lauded even by critics. His story is one of perseverance, marked by an unyielding love for the sport that continues to drive him, inspiring young cricketers across the globe.
