Gurkeerat Singh Mann, the 33-year-old cricketer from Punjab, has decided to retire from both international and Indian cricket. He played three ODIs for India in 2016 and later became an IPL champion with the Gujarat Titans.

Gurkeerat’s skills as an offspinner and a fast-scoring batter were recognized in 2011 when he played for the Punjab Under-22 side, winning the CK Nayudu Trophy. Consistent performances led to his selection in the Indian team, and by 2015, he was part of the ‘A’ team, contributing significantly to a tri-series victory against Australia A. Gurkeerat carried this momentum into the Ranji Trophy, showcasing his talent with a double-hundred and a nine-wicket haul.

Although he was selected for India’s Test squad in 2015, Gurkeerat didn’t play. He made his ODI debut in Melbourne in early 2016 during India’s tour of Australia. He faced 13 balls as a batter and bowled 60 balls as a bowler in his international career, all in one-day internationals.

In the IPL, Gurkeerat started with Kings XI Punjab in 2012 and played for them until 2017, scoring 342 runs in 24 innings. He joined Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019 and scored 169 runs in eight innings.. In 2022, he joined the Gujarat Titans, witnessing their title win from the dressing room. Similarly, Punjab won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy this month, with Gurkeerat playing just one game in the tournament.
