Chennai, August 19

Punjab all-rounder Ramandeep Singh, who does not have a professional cricket century to his name, smashed a 101-ball 111 during his state's Buchi Babu tournament match against Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Buchi Babu tournament does not have first-class cricket status and is being held in Tamil Nadu, where several teams are participating. Punjab got off to a rocky start as they lost their opener, Jaskaranvir Singh was dismissed on the third ball of the innings.

Prabhsimran Singh (69 in 91 balls, with nine fours) and U19 World Cup sensation Uday Saharan (113 in 225 balls, with seven fours and a six) stitched a 103-run stand, as per Wisden.

Punjab lost wickets in clusters and were restricted to 168/4, when Ramandeep walked out. He smashed four boundaries and eight sixes in his knock.

In five FC matches, he has scored 183 runs in nine innings at an average of 22.67, with a best score of 69*.

Ramandeep has also played 31 List A matches, scoring 523 runs in 24 innings at an average of 29.05, with three fifties and a best score of 80.

In 77 T20s, he has made 687 runs in 52 innings at an average of 22.16 and a strike rate of 169.21, with two fifties and a best score of 64.

The all-rounder had a breakout Indian Premier League (IPL) season for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the eventual champions, in 2024, scoring 125 runs in nine innings as a finisher at an average of 31.25, strike rate of over 201 and best score of 35.

This earned him an international debut with India, during T20Is against South Africa in November 2024, away from home. He has made 15 runs in one inning he played and has picked up a wicket.

Buchi Babu tournament may not have FC status but it's producing some great cricket. Good to see domestic tournaments getting coverage. Ramandeep's journey from IPL to India debut to this century is inspiring for many young cricketers.

While the century is impressive, let's not forget his first-class average is only 22.67. He needs to work on his consistency in longer formats if he wants to be considered for Tests. Talent is there but needs more application.

Eight sixes in his knock! 🔥 That's the power hitting we saw in IPL. Perfect modern-day all-rounder material. Hope he gets more opportunities with Team India soon.

Good to see Punjab cricket producing quality players. Between Prabhsimran, Uday Saharan and now Ramandeep - we have some serious talent coming through. Future looks bright for Punjab cricket! 💪
