There’s a certain poetry in the way Jatinder Singh bats. With a tall frame, classic strokes, and effortless timing, he is the stylist in Oman’s batting order. Representing the national team with jersey number 10, Jatinder brings flair and finesse to a team known for grit and discipline.
Born in Ludhiana, India, Jatinder moved to Oman at a young age with his family. Like many South Asian children abroad, cricket was his anchor. His natural timing and eye for gaps were evident early on, and by the time he was in his early twenties, he was representing Oman on the global stage.
Jatinder rose to fame during the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, where his aggressive batting at the top set the tone for Oman’s chase-oriented strategy. He was instrumental in helping Oman qualify for their first-ever T20 World Cup in 2016, where his knocks were lauded for their maturity and fluency.
In the 2021 T20 World Cup, he again delivered with a sublime 73 off 42 balls against Papua New Guinea, leading Oman to a dominant win. His cover drives and late cuts are crowd favorites, and his ability to play spin and pace equally well makes him vital in all formats.
Jatinder is also known for his calm demeanor. He avoids limelight, stays focused on fitness and form, and always has time for young cricketers seeking advice. His experience and stability make him a pillar in the dressing room.
Jersey number 10 is more than just a shirt—it represents class, confidence, and the journey of an immigrant boy who became the face of stylish cricket in Oman.
