Born in 2005, Harjas Singh is an Australian left-handed top-order batter of Indian descent who burst onto the scene with a record-breaking 314-run knock in 2025 and played a pivotal role in Australia's 2024 U19 World Cup victory.
Harjas Singh was born on January 31, 2005, in Sydney to a Sikh family originally from Chandigarh, Punjab. He is a left-handed top-order batter who grew up playing cricket in the western suburbs of Sydney and attended Westfield Sports High School in Fairfield. Though primarily a batter, he also bowls right-arm medium pace. Harjas first gained widespread attention during the 2024 ICC Under-19 World Cup, where he contributed significantly to Australia’s championship win with a crucial half-century in the final against India. On October 4, 2025, Harjas delivered an unforgettable performance that dominated cricket headlines worldwide. Playing for Western Suburbs in a 50-over NSW Premier Cricket match, he scored an unbeaten 314 runs from just 141 deliveries, smashing 35 sixes and 14 fours to shatter all previous records. Harjas comes from a family deeply rooted in sports. His father, Inderjit Singh, was a state-level boxing champion in Punjab before moving to Sydney in 2000 and later working in transport. His mother, Avinder Kaur, was a state-level long jumper in Punjab. Both parents watched proudly as their son played in the 2024 U19 World Cup final, where he scored a vital 55 to help Australia lift the trophy. Harjas has an elder sister named Harnoor Kaur, though she remains out of the public eye. As of now, no details are available about Harjas having a brother. He maintains a low profile regarding his personal life, and there is no confirmed information about his relationship status or a girlfriend. He does not have an official account on X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook but is active on Instagram. In domestic cricket, Harjas wears jersey number 12, which he also donned during his appearances for the Australian Under-19 team. His net worth is estimated at around USD 100,000 based on available data, though no official figures have been confirmed. This figure likely includes earnings from match fees, youth contracts, and tournament allowances. Harjas Singh’s cricketing journey began making national headlines when he debuted for the Australia Under-19 side. He played his first Youth ODI against Bangladesh Under-19 in January 2023 and made his Youth Test debut later that year in September against England Under-19 at Northampton, where he scored a century in the first innings. His standout domestic performance came on October 4, 2025, when he played for Western Suburbs in Sydney’s first-grade one-day competition. Harjas stunned the cricketing world with a blistering 314 runs off 141 balls, including 35 sixes, setting a new state record in one-day cricket and drawing national attention. During the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, Harjas scored 183 runs across nine matches at an average of 20.3 and a strike rate of 75. Although he did not have a standout tournament initially, he delivered his best when it mattered most, smashing a decisive 55 in the final against India to secure Australia’s title. Currently, Harjas has not featured in any major franchise leagues globally. Still early in his career, he aims to gain exposure by playing in such leagues, particularly to adapt to the demands of shorter formats. There is speculation he may soon earn a spot in the Big Bash League. As of 2026, Harjas Singh is 20 years old. He has kept his personal life strictly private, leaving his relationship status and any potential partner unverified in public records. There is no official confirmation regarding Harjas Singh’s net worth or salary. Estimates suggest his net worth may be around USD 100,000, but no verified sources have confirmed this amount. Harjas Singh’s career achievements to date include being a key member of Australia’s 2024 ICC U19 World Cup-winning squad, where he top-scored in the final against India with 55 runs off 64 balls. In domestic cricket, he made history with his monumental 314-run innings off 141 balls in a 50-over NSW Premier first-grade match.
