Harmeet Singh Bansal
Harmeet Singh Bansal (born 9 October 1987), is a right arm medium bowler.[1] was born in Rajasthan, and had played only two List A matches when Deccan Chargers picked him for their campaign in IPL 2009. There is something spectacular about his right-arm medium-pace bowling, and his figures after his 2nd season in the IPL suggested so: 10 wickets in seven matches and an economy rate of 7.40. But by being aware of his limitations, he extended himself and eventually his bowling was a crucial factor in the semi-final and the final. His seven overs in those two matches went for 31 runs and got him 4 wickets, and a running catch from him proved to be the decisive turning point in the final that his team won.

He was picked by Deccan Chargers for 2009, 2010 and 2011 season. In IPL 2010,he won the man of the match award in a match against Bangalore Royal Challengers. He bowled a decisive penultimate over which led to his side's win. He is now playing for Kings XI Punjab in 2012 IPL.
