Who is Harmeet Singh? USA cricketer who dismissed Hardik Pandya, once arrested for driving on Andheri railway station

Harmeet Singh returned to familiar grounds during the IND vs USA match at Wankhede Stadium. Once a young talent in Mumbai, Singh had to take a long path to reach international cricket. The left-arm spinner now plays for the USA national cricket team. In the match, he was excellent with the ball, giving up only 26 runs in 4 overs and taking two crucial wickets, those of Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel.

On his return to Mumbai, fans remembered his past. Harmeet was born and raised in Mumbai and played for the India U19 team that won the 2012 World Cup. He also played in the IPL.

Netizens also reminded people of an incident from 2017. At that time, Singh was not part of the USA team and was living in Mumbai. He was arrested for driving his car onto the platform at Andheri Railway Station.
