Tejwinder Singh

Tejwinder Singh, born on 19th September 1991, has etched his name in the annals of cricket as a formidable fast bowler known for his sheer pace and remarkable accuracy. His cricketing odyssey began in the modest surroundings of Chandigarh, where he discovered a love for the sport playing in the bustling streets and open grounds. By the age of ten, Tejwinder's voracious appetite for the game saw him joining a local youth academy, where his raw talent was honed under the watchful eye of seasoned coaches.

His progression through the ranks was swift, and it wasn’t long before Tejwinder made his professional debut, donning the state cap for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy. It was in 2012 when he first announced himself on the big stage with a blistering spell against Mumbai, claiming a five-wicket haul that signalled his arrival. His uncanny ability to swing the ball both ways, combined with the aggression of a right-arm fast bowler, quickly made him a favourite among fans and selectors alike.

Over the next decade, Tejwinder amassed an impressive collection of accolades. He played a crucial role in Punjab’s Ranji Trophy victory in 2015, taking over 50 wickets in the season—a feat only a handful of bowlers have accomplished. His outstanding domestic performance earned him a call-up to the national team, where he consistently contributed to memorable victories.

Tejwinder’s career is peppered with notable performances, yet what truly defined his journey were the heated rivalries, especially the famed duels with the pace attack of Karnataka. His spellbinding bowling in the 2018 semifinals against them remains etched in cricketing folklore; a devastating spell that saw him dismantle their batting line-up with breathtaking precision.

Though primarily celebrated for his bowling, Tejwinder was never a hapless tailender. With a penchant for gutsy lower-order batting, he often chipped in with valuable runs, showcasing a steady right-hand batting technique. His tenacity with the bat added a layer of depth to his all-round contribution to the team.

Tejwinder Singh’s career is a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion for cricket, characterised by moments that not only won matches but created lasting legacies. His influence goes beyond numbers, as he continues to inspire a new generation, proving that the heart and soul of cricket lie in the stories of players who play each game as though it were their last.
