Shivani Singh

Shivani Singh is a talented wicketkeeper-batter from Himachal Pradesh whose rapid rise in the domestic circuit has marked her as one of the most promising young 'finishers' in Indian cricket. Born on January 1, 2001, she has become a mainstay for both Himachal Pradesh and the North Zone team. Her 2025 season was a statistical masterclass in T20 batting; she finished as the eighth-highest run-scorer in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy with 250 runs and followed it up by being the seventh-highest run-getter in the Inter-Zonal T20 Trophy. A standout moment of her year was a brutal, unbeaten 87 off just 58 balls* against North East Zone, an innings that showcased her ability to anchor a chase and accelerate with clinical precision.

In the 2026 Women’s Premier League mega auction held in late 2025, Shivani was signed by the Gujarat Giants for ₹10 lakh. While she enters the league as an uncapped prospect, her inclusion is a vital part of the Giants' strategy to build a deep Indian core capable of providing middle-order stability. At the Giants, she will share the dressing room with seasoned internationals like Beth Mooney and Yastika Bhatia, offering the team a reliable backup wicketkeeping option and a versatile right-handed batting threat. As the 2026 season kicks off in January, the 24-year-old is widely tipped to be the 'dark horse' of the tournament, ready to translate her prolific domestic form into a breakout campaign on the big stage.
