Amanjot Kaur, a seam-bowling all-rounder from Punjab, didn’t waste any time in showing the world she was ready for the big-stage after scoring a Player of the Match worthy 41* off 30 on her T20I debut against South Africa in 2023. Just a few months later, she owned the stage once more during her ODI debut after picking up 4/31 against Bangladesh. She started training under Nagesh Gupta as a 17-year old and started playing domestic cricket for Punjab shortly thereafter. In pursuit of more opportunities, she switched to Chandigarh for a couple of seasons before eventually switching back. She was picked up by the Mumbai Indians for INR 50 lakh in the inaugural season of the WPL and was retained thereafter.

“Hum bane hi udne ke liye hain” (I am born to fly) she would go on to say after a stunning and game-changing performance in WPL 2025. In a game against RCB, Amanjot first picked 3 wickets before leading her side to a nail-biting win with the bat, scoring 34* off 30, which would eventually earn her her first Player of the Match award in the WPL.
