Suraj Singh

Suraj Singh, born on 11th July 1990, has carved out a distinctive niche for himself in the world of cricket as a tenacious allrounder. Known for his left-handed batting and his unique flair with left-arm fast-medium bowling, Suraj's journey from the local parks of Jaipur to international fields is a testament to his dedication and unwavering love for the game.

Suraj's cricketing story began in the dusty streets of his hometown, where he would spend hours perfecting his cover drive and yorkers against makeshift wickets. His talent was apparent early on, and soon he found himself playing for the Rajasthan under-19 team. His performances, especially in crucial matches, quickly caught the eye of selectors, earning him a spot in the state’s Ranji Trophy squad at the tender age of 18.

Suraj's professional debut was nothing short of spectacular. In his first Ranji season, he not only secured a five-wicket haul but also chipped in with vital runs in the lower order, showcasing his potential as a genuine allrounder. This dual ability became his hallmark, and he was often the underdog who changed the course of many a stubborn match.

One of Suraj's most memorable games was the 2016 Ranji Trophy semi-final against Mumbai. His nifty spell in the final session disrupted a formidable batting line-up, leading Rajasthan to an unexpected victory and eventually, a place in the finals. Such flair at crucial junctures earned him the reputation of being a big match player.

Not one to shy away from challenges, Suraj's face-off against a touring Australian side in a practice match remains a highlight of his career. Bowling with unyielding precision and occasionally troubling batsmen with deceptive pace changes, he scalped three prized wickets, including that of a top-order stalwart.

Suraj's playing style is all about balance. His competent handling of the pressure situations both with bat and ball, and his ability to swing the ball meanly in helpful conditions, have often posed significant challenges to his rivals. His natural ability to read the game tactically often sees him outsmarting batsmen, making him a vital asset to his team.

Throughout his career, Suraj Singh has not just been a player but rather an embodiment of the hard work and passion that cricket demands. His journey from local leagues to the national stage serves as a tale of persistence and undying love for the sport, influencing many budding cricketers in the process.
