Tributes began pouring in as teammates, former players and cricket followers remembered a bowler known for his energy, commitment and quiet professionalism.<\/p>\n<h2>Early life and domestic rise<\/h2>\n<p>Amanpreet Singh Gill, born in Chandigarh in September 1989, made his name through domestic cricket for Punjab. He was widely seen as a lively and dedicated fast bowler who consistently brought intensity to every spell.<\/p>\n<p>He also had the opportunity to represent India at the Under-19 level, featuring in the 2007 Under-19 Tri-Series in Sri Lanka. That tournament included future stars such as Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey, and Amanpreet played an important part in India\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>Under-19 Tri-Series impact<\/h2>\n<p>During the 2007 Under-19 Tri-Series, Amanpreet took nine wickets across five matches. His contributions were especially valuable in the final against Bangladesh, where he delivered a match-winning performance that swung the contest in India\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<h2>Connection with the IPL and post-retirement role<\/h2>\n<p>After building his reputation in domestic cricket, Amanpreet later earned an IPL stint with Kings XI Punjab, a franchise now known as Punjab Kings. Following his playing career, he continued to stay involved in the sport by serving on Punjab\u2019s senior selection committee, helping shape pathways for younger cricketers in the state.<\/p>\n<h2>Tributes and final rites<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>After the announcement of his passing on Wednesday, May 6, the cricket fraternity expressed deep shock and condolences.<\/li>\n<li>Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh posted an emotional tribute on X, recalling that he and Amanpreet shared the dressing room during their early days together.<\/li>\n<li>Punjab Cricket Association officials also conveyed their condolences, highlighting his dedication to cricket both on and off the field.<\/li>\n<li>His last rites were scheduled to be held later that day at the Manimajra Cremation Ground in Chandigarh.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The cause of death has not been made public. In the meantime, the focus across the game has been on honouring Amanpreet Singh Gill\u2019s life and the contributions he made to cricket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Punjab cricketer Amanpreet Singh Gill died on Wednesday, May 6, at the age of 36, sending shockwaves through the cricket world.
