Binit Kumar Singh

Binit Kumar Singh, born on the first day of 2001, emerged as a cricketing prodigy from the bustling cityscape of Patna, India. Cricket had always been Singh's first love, and from the moment he wielded a bat as a toddler, there was no doubt that he was destined for the pitch. Nurtured on dusty local grounds, Binit developed an insatiable hunger for the game, guided initially by his father, a fervent cricket enthusiast himself. Those early years saw him bowling tirelessly in the scorched afternoon sun, perfecting his craft with every delivery.

Singh’s path to professional cricket was anything but straightforward. Perseverance and skill led him to the state academy, where his bowling began to draw widespread attention. Known for his versatile bowling skills, Singh can artfully vary pace and spin, unflinchingly taking down formidable batsmen. It was this adaptability that earned him his professional debut for Bihar in a crucial Ranji Trophy match in 2019, where he dazzled with a five-wicket haul.

Throughout his career, Singh has etched his name into several chapters of cricketing lore. Among his accolades, the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy performance stood out, as he led Bihar to unexpected victories, claiming a remarkable 23 wickets that season. Seamlessly transitioning into the role of a team leader, Binit’s bowling became the backbone of his team’s success, underscored further in the 2022 Ranji Trophy where he notched up a career-high 8/45 against one of the tournament's favourites, highlighting his impact on crucial matches.

Rivalry with Bengal’s prodigious talent, Ravi Mukherjee, has particularly invigorated fans, with Singh repeatedly outmanoeuvring Mukherjee’s batting in high-stakes encounters, much to the crowd’s delight. Binit's adaptability isn’t confined to his bowling; his batting, though largely secondary, is crucial during tail-end situations. Employing a pragmatic and opportunistic approach with the bat, he often manages crucial runs that have rescued his team on numerous occasions.

Binit Kumar Singh's journey reflects a steadfast determination and passion for cricket that goes beyond numbers and milestones. His career has been punctuated with exhilarating peaks and challenges, yet through it all, Singh’s spirit stays unyielding. A young bowler with an old soul for the game, Binit continues to bowl his way into cricketing folklore, one delivery at a time.
