Known for his adaptable batting approach, Harkamal could wield the bat with surprising adeptness down the order, rescuing his team from precarious situations with cameo innings that defied his primary role as a bowler. Notably, in a Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu, he played a gritty innings of 45 runs, turning the tide in Punjab’s favour and showcasing his resilience and adaptability.
