Amritpal Singh

Amritpal Singh’s journey into the world of cricket began on a quiet street in Ludhiana, where he was born on 9th January 1998. As a child, the passion for cricket was evident—not just in the games played with neighbourhood friends but in his unwavering gaze, always fixed on the cricket ball. By the age of 10, Amritpal's talent became hard to ignore, prompting his parents to enrol him in a local cricket academy.

Under the tutelage of seasoned coaches, Amritpal honed his skills as a right-arm fast-medium bowler. His natural athleticism and keen understanding of game mechanics distinguished him early on. He made his professional debut for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy in 2017, a match that marked the beginning of a promising career. Amritpal’s ability to deliver subtle variations in pace and his knack for the perfect yorker soon caught the eyes of national selectors.

Among his achievements, Amritpal played a critical role in leading Punjab to a Ranji Trophy title in 2020, ending the team's decade-long drought. His formidable performance in the final, where he claimed a five-wicket haul, was lauded by critics and fans alike. Amritpal also boasts an impressive record in the Indian Premier League, playing for one of the top franchises and consistently finishing as their leading wicket-taker each season.

One of the notable chapters in his career unfolded in an intense Test series against Australia in 2021, where his performance in the third Test in Sydney was electric. His duel with Australian batsman Steve Smith became almost legendary, with Amritpal dismissing him thrice in consecutive innings, cementing this rivalry as a classic for cricket enthusiasts.

Amritpal’s playing style is a fusion of precision and intelligence. Though primarily recognised for his bowling prowess, his early years of batting practice have made him a useful lower-order batsman, providing crucial runs in test match scenarios. His ability to contribute with the bat ensures he is never a one-dimensional player.

A significant moment etched in Amritpal’s career transpired during a T20 against England, where his last over heroics defended nine runs, scripting an unforgettable win for India. Such instances underline his impact on the game—not solely as a bowler but as a cricketer who thrives under pressure. In every delivery he bowls, Amritpal Singh continues to leave an indelible mark in cricket’s rich tapestry.
