Gurjapneet Singh is a towering 6'3" left-arm fast bowler hailing from Ambala who has carved a niche in Indian domestic cricket. After relocating to Tamil Nadu to pursue his cricketing ambitions, he delivered a stellar performance in the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy season, securing 13 wickets across four matches. His standout displays in the Tamil Nadu Premier League caught the eye of franchises, leading to his acquisition by Chennai Super Kings for ₹2.2 crore in the 2025 IPL auction—though a subsequent injury prevented his participation that season.

In the sixth over of the match, he dismissed Sedezhalie Rupero, Hem Chetri, and Nagaland captain Rongsen Jonathan with three successive deliveries. This historic feat made him the first Tamil Nadu bowler to record a Ranji Trophy hat-trick since M Mohammed in 2018 and only the seventh in the state’s cricketing history.
