Uncut and Raw | Harmeet Singh | Colors of the Game | EP. 147

In this episode of UMBRO Presents Colors of the Game, we sit down with Harmeet Singh, one of the most fascinating and resilient cricketers of our generation. From being hailed as India’s next big left-arm spinner to rebuilding his entire career in the USA, Harmeet’s journey is a story of talent, controversy, struggle, and an incredible comeback.

We dive deep into:

🇮🇳 Early life in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park — where legends are made, and where Harmeet’s talent was first spotted at the age of 9 by iconic coach Padmakar Shivalkar 

🏏 Rise through India’s youth system — including two U-19 World Cups and being part of India’s 2012 U-19 World Cup winning squad 

🔥 Playing with and training under some of India’s greats — including Dinesh Lad, Pravin Amre, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, and even bowling to Rohit Sharma in school nets 

⚡ The highs of IPL selection with Rajasthan Royals, guided by mentors like Sreesanth and Rahul Dravid 

💥 The 2013 IPL fixing controversy — how Harmeet was officially cleared but still became “collateral damage” at the peak of his career 

🚗 The 2017 Andheri Station incident — what really happened behind the viral headlines, in Harmeet’s own words 

🌎 Reinventing himself in the USA — captaining Seattle Thunderbolts, being picked first overall in the inaugural MLC draft, and eventually becoming a key all-rounder for the USA national team 

💪 Mindset, resilience & near-quitting moments — including how he rebuilt his bowling action, overcame personal tragedy, and fought his way back into international cricket 

If you love stories of grit, redemption, and the global rise of cricket, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
