Kamaljit Singh

Kamaljit Singh emerged onto the cricketing scene with the tenacity and grit that only passionate athletes possess. Born on 21 March 1988, Kamaljit's story began in the dusty streets of Amritsar, where every delivery bowled and every shot played either ended up with a cheer or a cry. From these informal beginnings, he crafted his own path to the echelons of professional cricket.

Singh's first noticeable break came when he was selected for Punjab's Under-19 team. His prowess behind the stumps quickly gained attention, but it was his right-hand batting style that truly set him apart. Kamaljit's deft footwork allowed him to play those delicate cut shots with masterful ease, making him a valuable asset at both ends of the pitch. His ability to remain unfazed under pressure showcased his burgeoning skill, and this led to his much-celebrated first-class debut for Punjab at the age of 21.

The early stages of Kamaljit's career were marked by consistent performances in the Ranji Trophy. His debut century was a testament to his potential, consolidating him as a formidable batsman who could keep the scoreboard ticking, especially during tense end-overs situations. His knack for pulling off brisk stumpings and acrobatic catches soon translated into louder whispers for a national call-up.

In 2014, the cricketing world witnessed an epic duel when Punjab faced their traditional rivals, Mumbai, in a gripping Ranji final. Kamaljit’s agile 89 not out steered Punjab out of a precarious situation and laid the foundation for a memorable victory. This match was one of those intense cricket narratives that awaited only a hero to complete, and Kamaljit rose to the occasion, cementing a legacy.

Notably, Singh also left a stamp on the shorter formats. His right-arm fast-medium deliveries uncovered an unlikely sidearm, making him an all-rounder whose bowling, although not fierce, was cleverly executed, deceiving many established batsmen.

Among Kamaljit’s accolades, his role in securing Punjab's first-ever Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title stands paramount. Behind the stumps and in front of them, Singh's impact on the game extended beyond his personal achievements. He revitalised the essence of a complete cricketer, inspiring countless youngsters in his footsteps, as a symbol of dedication, determination, and, most significantly, passion.
