Harneet Gulati

Born on 20th December 1991 in India, Harneet Gulati’s cricketing journey from a spirited young enthusiast to a professional wicketkeeper has been nothing short of inspiring. Nestled in a bustling neighbourhood, his early days were defined by cricket played on narrow streets, where Harneet honed his skills, dreaming of competing on the grand stage.

Harneet’s ascent in cricket began during his school years, where his reflexes behind the stumps first caught the attention of local coaches. His agile footwork and safe hands were soon joined by his proficiency with the bat, making him a vital cog in any team. Recognising his potential, selectors included him in the state under-19 squad, paving the way for his professional debut.

In 2010, Harneet made his mark in the domestic circuit with his debut for the state team. His debut was nothing short of a revelation as he took four catches and effected a crucial stumping that led his team to a memorable victory. His batting prowess came to the forefront in a subsequent series where his 89 not-out in a tense run chase established his reputation as a dependable lower-order batsman.

With significant performances under his belt, Harneet’s major breakthrough arrived when he was instrumental in leading his team to their maiden domestic championship title in 2015. His wicketkeeping was flawless, with a record number of dismissals in the tournament, while his calm under pressure with the bat added another feather to his cap.

Harneet’s career is punctuated by several notable matches, particularly against their fiercest rivals, where his performances often swung the momentum. One such encounter saw Harneet claim three dismissals and score a quickfire 50 that turned the tide in his team’s favour in a crucial semi-final clash. His rivalry with opposing wicketkeeper-batsmen added spice to these contests, often leading to enthralling battles.

Predominantly a right-hand batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler, Harneet, although not relied upon regularly for his bowling, has delivered crucial breakthroughs on more than one occasion. However, it’s his wicketkeeping that remains his primary strength, characterised by his swift glove work and sharp cricketing acumen.

Throughout his career, Harneet has been more than just a player; he’s been an ambassador of the sport, inspiring countless young cricketers with his dedication and passion. His journey, filled with challenges and triumphs, continues to be a testament to hard work and perseverance in the world of cricket.
