Balwinder Singh, born on 12 January 1992, in Chandigarh, has risen through the ranks of Indian cricket to establish himself as a formidable allrounder. With a gift for both batting and bowling, Balwinder brings a complete skill set that makes him both a dependable run-scorer and a cunning wicket-taker.

His tryst with cricket began on the dusty pitches of Punjab, where, armed with a rudimentary bat and immense passion, Balwinder quickly made a name for himself in the local leagues. His debut in higher-level competition came at age 18 in the domestic circuit. It wasn’t long before selectors turned their eyes to his powerful yet technically sound right-hand batting and his cunning right-arm fast-medium deliveries.

Since his professional debut, Balwinder has had a knack for turning games.

Balwinder's playing style brims with aggressive flair at the crease; his right-hand batting often pulverises bowling attacks with bold strokes peppered through the offside. With the ball, he has a rare knack for seam movement, making his right-arm deliveries a consistent threat. His bowling speed, though not the fastest, employs cunning swing and a deceptive slower ball that have flummoxed batsmen worldwide.

Among his many rivalries, his encounters with the Australian side stand out. Matches against them have often turned into epic contests, with Balwinder’s fiery spells eliciting sharp exchanges with rival batsmen—a recurring feature capturing the public’s imagination.

A defining moment in Singh’s career arrived during the Champions Trophy in 2017, where he played an instrumental role in India’s triumph, capturing crucial wickets and valuable runs in the final against England— sealing his place as a key player in the side.
