Whether it's finding the gaps with precision or clearing the ropes with ease, Sundeep brings an electrifying energy to the crease that can single-handedly change the course of a game.
This is the kind of game-changing talent he brings to the Lumbini Lions. He is the firestarter, the player who can ignite an innings and propel the team to victory. His presence in the middle order is a promise of excitement and a threat to any total.
From a record-breaking teenager to a key pillar of the national team, Sundeep Jora’s story is a testament to what happens when immense talent meets fearless ambition. He is a young gun with a massive future, and the Lumbini Lions are thrilled to have his explosive power in our arsenal.
