Parminder Singh

Born on a sunny day in Ludhiana, India, on 14th September 1992, Parminder Singh’s cricketing journey began in the dusty lanes of his neighbourhood. His love for the game was ignited at a tender age, and soon he was spending endless hours perfecting his craft under the watchful eye of his father, a local club player. Parminder's passion and dedication saw him rising through the ranks rapidly, from school cricket to age-group cricket, displaying early signs of becoming a remarkable allrounder.

He made his professional debut for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy, where his ability to both score runs and take wickets positioned him as a vital team asset. Parminder's right-hand batting was characterised by unwavering composure and an aggressive yet polished technique, while his right-arm fast-medium bowling consistently troubled batsmen with its deceptive pace and swing. His performances at the domestic level earned him a spot in the national A-team, a stepping stone that saw him firmly in the selectors' sights.

Throughout his career, Parminder achieved numerous accolades, contributing significantly to Punjab's two victorious Ranji Trophy campaigns in the early 2010s. His allround talent shone brightly in a memorable encounter against Karnataka in the finals, where he delivered a game-changing performance with both bat and ball, ensuring his side's dominance.

Parminder's duels with the hard-hitting Mumbai team became part of cricketing folklore, fuelling a rivalry that brought out the best in him. One particular match at the Wankhede Stadium, where Parminder took five wickets and scored a gritty 80 not out, remains etched in fans’ memories, encapsulating his fierce competitive spirit and sheer will to win.

Renowned for his calm demeanour, Parminder’s greatest strength was his versatility; he could steady a faltering innings or launch a late attack, and his bowling was a mix of patience and abrupt aggression. His penchant for thriving under pressure made him a go-to player during challenging situations, often turning games single-handedly.

Despite various challenges, including injuries and a brief dip in form, Parminder Singh’s resilience and adaptability saw him evolve into a stalwart of Indian domestic cricket. His impact went beyond stats—his dedication, sportsmanship, and leadership inspired a generation of young cricketers to dream big, forever cementing his legacy in the echelons of Indian cricket history.
