Tajinder Singh Dhillon is an Indian professional player with immense talent, who never got enough opportunities in his cricket career to make it big. Yet, he never gave up and kept on knocking on doors until someone answered. On 27 June 2025, he thrashed that door open in a Major League Cricket (MLC)match, where he was representing the MI New York, with his scorching 35-ball 95. Although his knock went in vain and the MI NY lost the match, he made people take notice of his batting prowess.

Unlike regular players, who rise through the ranks playing age-category cricket like the Under-19 and Under-23, and then domestic cricket, he was directly selected for the Ranji Trophy, making him the first player in history to achieve such a feat.
