Harpreet Singh Bhatia

Harpreet Singh Bhatia – a domestic cricket veteran who has also represented India in U19 World Cup gets picked up by none other than Kings XI Punjab for the latest edition of IPL. Harpreet who is currently the captain of Chhattisgarh Senior Team has led from the front for his state not only as a skipper but also as a frontline batsman.

Harpreet who has amassed over almost 2500+ runs in Ranji Trophy in his last two seasons batting at an average of 87.54 always let his bat do the talking. Even in the shorter formats, Harpreet this season scored 516 runs at an average of 86.00 in Vijay Hazare Trophy which included 2 hundreds while he was equally impressive in Syed Mushtaq Ali this season batting at an average of 56.33 in 6 matches.
