Jaskaran took three wickets on his List-A debut for the Punjab side against Haryana in 2009, before marking his first-class debut for India A against Yorkshire the next year. He had a forgettable game, conceding 77 runs for no wickets in 22 overs. His first-class debut came after six matches for the Chargers in which season he bagged six wickets.
Out of the six wickets, Jaskaran dismissed the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Kieron Pollard. In 26 innings of first-class cricket, the right-arm pacer has picked up 30 wickets at an average of 37.73 and a strike rate of 71.1, with 332 runs at a strike rate of 75.80, thanks to two half-centuries.
Jaskaran will hope to impress the fans with his skills during the T20 World Cup as they will meet some strong sides, including Afghanistan and New Zealand, deep into the competition.
