Himmat Singh (born 8 November 1996) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Delhi in domestic cricket. He bats right-handed and bowls right-arm off break. He represented Delhi at the Under-16, Under-19 and Under-23 levels and North Zone at the Under-19 level.[1]
Himmat was selected in the Delhi squad for 2014–15 Ranji Trophy after his fine performance for the Delhi Under-19s, but did not appear in any of the matches.[2] He made his List A cricket debut at the age of 19 during the 2015–16 Vijay Hazare Trophy in December 2015. Later that month, Himmat's father Tejbir Singh filed a criminal defamation case against Kirti Azad, Bishan Singh Bedi, Surinder Khanna and Sameer Bahadur for allegedly stating that Tejbir had exchanged ₹25 lakh for his son's selection in the Delhi squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.[3]
