Yuvraj Singh shared condolences with Amanpreet Singh Gill’s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeeply saddened to hear about Amanpreet Singh Gill\u2019s passing. Shared the dressing room in our early days, he was a quiet, hardworking cricketer who loved the game. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. Rest in peace. Om Shanti,\u201d Yuvraj wrote in his post, tagging the Punjab Cricket Association.<\/p>\n
Gill\u2019s death brought attention back to a career that moved through several important layers of Punjab and Indian cricket. He was not a mainstream international name, but he had been part of India\u2019s Under-19 pathway, represented Punjab in first-class cricket, was associated with Kings XI Punjab in the early years of the IPL, and later served the state game as a senior selector.<\/p>\n
Who was Amanpreet Singh Gill?<\/p>\n
Born on September 16, 1989, in Chandigarh, Amanpreet Singh Gill was a right-arm medium pacer and right-handed batter. His profile was built around seam bowling, and he came through Punjab\u2019s age-group and domestic structure at a time when several players from that system were pushing toward national recognition.<\/p>\n
Gill\u2019s strongest national-level connection came through India Under-19 cricket. He was part of the same age-group generation as Virat Kohli<\/a>, Manish Pandey<\/a> and Saurabh Tiwary. Gill featured for India Under-19s in the 2007 tri-series in Sri Lanka, where India played Sri Lanka Under-19s and Bangladesh Under-19s. He had a strong tournament with the ball, taking nine wickets in five innings at an average of 9.44. In the final against Bangladesh Under-19s in Colombo, India won by 129 runs, with Gill returning figures of 2 for 14 from six overs.<\/p>\n At the senior domestic level, Gill represented Punjab in first-class cricket. His first-class career was brief, but he remained part of Punjab\u2019s seam-bowling pool in the late 2000s. He played six first-class matches and took 11 wickets, with best figures of 4 for 72.<\/p>\n Gill was also linked with Kings XI Punjab, now Punjab Kings<\/a>, during the early years of the IPL. He was part of the franchise\u2019s setup, though he did not become a regular playing XI presence in the tournament. That association explains the dressing-room connection recalled by Yuvraj, who was one of Punjab cricket\u2019s biggest names during that period.<\/p>\n After his playing career, Gill remained involved with the game through Punjab\u2019s cricket structure. The Punjab Cricket Association identified him as a former Punjab cricketer and a member of the Senior Selection Committee, underlining his continued role in the state\u2019s talent system after his own playing days.<\/p>\n
