With his recent revelation on social media about his purposeful decision to move to Tripura for better cricketing possibilities, Mandeep Singh captured the attention of the Indian domestic cricket scene. This decision made by Mandeep quickly became the main topic of conversation.
He disclosed that his greatest wish was realised in the successful Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign of the previous year, which ended Punjab’s 30-year trophy drought. Along with expressing a wish for a moving farewell to his work with the state that gave him 15 years of unwavering chances, he also mentioned that he still felt a strong connection to the place where he spent his formative years.
“My greatest dream, which we realised last season, was to win a trophy for Punjab. In my opinion, now was the ideal moment to depart. Furthermore, I left amicably, so it’s not like I can’t return. Mandeep was reported by as saying, “I hope to finish with Punjab because my heart is with Punjab.”
Regarding the possible extension of his captaincy, Mandeep stated that there have been no conclusive talks regarding the subject with the Tripura Cricket Association. In addition, he considered how the new chapter with Tripura would be like beginning afresh despite his wealth of home knowledge.
“I have not discussed my captaincy with the Tripura Cricket Association.” We just talked about how to move the team ahead when I spoke with PV Shashikanth, our coach. It’s all a little unfamiliar to me,” Mandeep said.

Also, he outlined the particular goals he had set, the main one being a simplified route to get back into the Indian team’s discussions. He said that these people were the ones who inspired him to aim high and gave two prime examples of fellow citizens who made major breakthroughs for their country and in the Indian Premier League in what could be regarded as later phases of their careers.
“I have a few objectives. Naturally, the first is to participate in all three formats with the goal of returning to the IPL. Of course, if you return to the IPL and perform well, you start to be considered for the Indian squad. At the age of 30, Suryakumar Yadav, if my memory serves me well, played for India. 32–33 [32] is Shashank Singh’s age. Last year in the IPL, he experienced his first taste of success. I can see my inspirations clearly,” Mandeep continued.
