Jaskaran Singh Buttar “Jassi” is a highly recognized and respected Indian cricketer who has not only represented India “A” as a young fast bowler on tour to England in 2010, but has played in the early editions of the IPL for the Deccan Chargers. Buttar has been playing in the Ranji Trophy for the last 13 years, having first represented the ever powerful Punjab team alongside some of the most famous names in Indian cricket. Most recently, he has been playing for the Chandigarh team under the captaincy of Manan Vohra.

Buttar is no stranger to OCA, having come over to play as an overseas guest player in 2012 (becoming the first IPL player to play in Canada), and then 2014 and 2018.

A right-arm seamer, Jaskaran Singh took three wickets on List-A debut for Punjab against Haryana in 2009, before making his first-class debut, for India A against Yorkshire, the next year. Jaskaran had a forgettable game, conceding 77 runs for no wickets in 22 overs. His first-class debut came after six matches for Deccan Chargers in IPL 2010 in which he took six wickets.

Jaskaran only made sporadic appearances for Punjab in domestic cricket after his stint with Deccan Chargers. His first-class average and T20 economy rate read 54.16 and 8.09 runs per over when he was bought by Rising Pune Super Giants for INR 10 lakh at the IPL 2016 player auction.
