A middle-order batsman and an occasional off-spinner from Punjab, Gurkeerat Singh Mann made his IPL debut in 2012 for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). In only his second innings, he showed great maturity by smashing an unbeaten 29 in 12 balls, taking on the might of Dale Steyn, to help finish off a run-chase. Over the years, he carved a reputation as a useful batsman down the order, making his One-Day International (ODI) debut for India on the tour to Australia in 2016. Ahead of the 2019 season, Gurkeerat was picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In 2021, he was signed as a replacement for the injured Rinku Singh by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
