But when 20-year-old Aussie-Punjabi powerhouse Harjas Singh, a 2024 Under-19 World Cup champion unleashed what many are calling the &#8216;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">innings of the century&#8217;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the cricketing fraternity across continents sat up in awe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">314 not out off just 141 balls.That was Harjas\u2019s staggering score for Western Suburbs against Sydney Cricket Club in the NSW Premier Cricket 50-over competition at Ashfield\u2019s Pratten Park in the first week of October. He smashed 35 massive sixes and 12 boundaries \u2013 a jaw-dropping 258 runs in boundaries alone, rewriting record books and leaving even seasoned pros speechless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming in at No. 3, Harjas reached his milestones with surgical precision: 50 off 33 balls, 100 off 74, 200 off 102, and then went berserk in the death overs, scoring 88 runs off his final 23 deliveries. He brought up his triple hundred with a towering six off spinner Tom Mullen, finishing unbeaten as Western Suburbs piled up 483\/5 and sealed a 196-run win. Incredibly, no teammate crossed 37. It was an exhibition of pure, solitary dominance.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPdhAnmiMm1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPdhAnmiMm1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Wests Cricket (@westernsuburbsdcc)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The shots kept soaring over Pratten Park\u2019s trees, and so did the headlines. <i>\u201c<\/i>Highest score ever in a 50-over first-grade match,\u201d screamed the news tickers, as tales of lost cricket balls and awestruck opponents spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Indian-origin prodigy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many in India, the name Harjas Singh may still be new. But this young man has already carved his place in Australia\u2019s cricketing landscape, and carries a story that resonates deeply with the Indian diaspora. Born in Sydney in 2005, Harjas is the son of Punjabi parents who migrated from Chandigarh in 2000, bringing with them the values of discipline and determination that have come to define their son\u2019s journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI grew up in a Punjabi household,\u201d he shared in an interview, \u201cand I think that\u2019s where a lot of my strength comes from.\u201d He even credits the Sikh martial art Gatka, which simulates sword fighting with wooden sticks, for building his power game. \u201cYou have to have very strong wrists for that,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R5_O1hx-Sn4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> with a smile during a recent podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Making of the champion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harjas\u2019s cricketing story began like many others through chance and persistence. At just eight, he turned up as a substitute for the Revesby Workers Cricket Club in New South Wales. What began as a fill-in appearance soon became a calling. Under the sharp eyes of Neil D\u2019Costa, the celebrated coach who has trained cricketers like Michael Clarke, Phil Hughes, Mitchell Starc and Marnus Labuschagne, Harjas\u2019s game took shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, he started as a right-handed batter but switched to batting left-handed to avoid breaking the family\u2019s windows while playing in the backyard. The switch stuck. Today, he bats left-handed but still bowls and throws with his right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three years ago, before he even turned 17, he became one of the youngest centurions in Sydney first-grade history. Soon after, he was donning national colours, first making his Youth Test debut against England in 2023 (where he struck a classy 100 off 169 balls), and then his ODI debut for Australia U19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But his defining early moment came earlier this year, when he top-scored with 55 off 64 balls in Australia\u2019s Under-19 World Cup final victory over India in South Africa. That innings, built on patience and poise, made him a household name in Australian cricketing circles, even if it broke many Indian hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The day of 35 sixes and 314 not out<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Harjas walked out to bat for Western Suburbs that fateful day, he wasn\u2019t chasing records. \u201cAt the start, the spinners had just come on,\u201d he recalled in a recent podcast. \u201cThat\u2019s where I love doing my best work\u2026 just get the feel of the game, see how the wicket\u2019s going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seventy balls later, he was already on 100. And then something clicked. \u201cAfter 100, I had relaxed\u2026 whatever happens, happens,\u201d he said. The fear was gone; in its place came freedom. \u201cI just tried to hit everything for six.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the time he was done, he had hit 35 sixes, turned a game into an event, and announced himself as one of the most explosive young batters in the world. Yet when asked about the innings, his mind wasn\u2019t on the sixes or the records, it was on recovery. \u201cI was just mentally gone,\u201d he laughed. \u201cI think that\u2019s the only time I\u2019ve had to just sit down and breathe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43976 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh-.webp\" alt=\"Harjas Singh\" width=\"670\" height=\"588\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh-.webp 701w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh--300x263.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh--480x421.webp 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/588;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43976 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh-.webp\" alt=\"Harjas Singh\" width=\"670\" height=\"588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh-.webp 701w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh--300x263.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Harjas-Singh--480x421.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Learning from failure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind that carefree hitting lies a far more grounded story. The last two seasons hadn\u2019t gone to plan. The runs were inconsistent, the contracts didn\u2019t come. \u201cBeing disappointed that I didn\u2019t get a contract last year\u2014obviously it hurts,\u201d Harjas admitted. \u201cAnd to be honest, I don\u2019t think I deserved one either.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of sulking, he got to work. \u201cThe pre-season was probably the most intense I\u2019ve ever done\u2026 breath work, fitness, batting five days a week,\u201d he said. But the biggest change was internal. \u201cI stopped worrying about everyone else\u2026 I made a big push on just worrying about my own world\u2014what can I do Monday to Friday to be the best on Saturday?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result was transformation, not just in numbers but in mindset. \u201cEverything\u2019s just switched,\u201d he said. That switch\u2014mental, physical, emotional lit the spark that produced 314 not out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Breathing through the pressure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of Harjas\u2019s growth story is how modern his methods are. He has brought mindfulness into cricket. \u201cYou use your breathing, ice baths, and oxygen resistance training to prepare for a game without being in a game,\u201d he explained. It\u2019s a technique to manage nerves and sharpen focus. \u201cYou can\u2019t look to hit your third or fourth ball for six if you\u2019re still shaking,\u201d he smiled. \u201cBut when you\u2019re grounded, when you\u2019re relaxed, it\u2019s a lot easier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He still trains like an old-school batsman doing underarm drills after work, working on the full face of the bat, and hitting balls under the eyes to perfect timing. \u201cTrain the way you play,\u201d he quoted his coach. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to hit a six first ball in a match, you need to be able to do it in training too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The club that backed him<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask him about his club, and his voice softens. \u201cFor the last three or four years I\u2019ve been there, I\u2019ve done donuts\u2026 and the fact that they all still respect me and love me for the bloke that I am. It means a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cThe board has trusted me and been unbelievable.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Harjas, Western Suburbs is more than a club has been like a family that stuck with him through lean years, and now celebrates his success like their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His club mentor\u2019s mantra, \u201cStart again. Start again.\u201d is something he carries like a prayer. It\u2019s what separates those who peak once from those who keep climbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Indian in his soul<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all his Australian training, Harjas remains deeply Indian at heart. He laughs about his only superstition of never placing his helmet face-down on the turf. \u201cI always respect the ground I\u2019m playing on,\u201d he said, a gesture that echoes the reverence Indian players show before stepping onto the pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raised with Punjabi warmth and discipline, he blends two cricketing worlds\u2014the emotional intelligence of Indian cricket with the fearless tempo of the Australian game. It\u2019s a mix that could define the next generation of global players.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNaFG8nTrbA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNaFG8nTrbA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Shaheedi Faujan Gatka Akhara (@shaheedifaujangatkaakhara)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><b>The road ahead<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having already played for Sydney Thunder in a T10 competition, Harjas\u2019s next goal is to earn a state contract and make the leap to professional cricket.
