IPL 2021: Virat Singh age, height, hometown, IPL salary and T20 stats

Sunrisers Hyderabad handed Virat Singh his maiden IPL cap ahead of their IPL 2021 fixture against the Mumbai Indians at MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Virat Singh made a name for himself with his brilliant performances for Jharkhand in the domestic arena. His big-hitting skills earned him an IPL deal last year, but Singh had to wait some time before making his debut in the league.

Unfortunately, he did not perform well for the Sunrisers Hyderabad on his IPL debut. Rahul Chahar dismissed him after he scored 11 runs off 12 deliveries. Nevertheless, Virat Singh has got what it takes to bounce back stronger in upcoming matches.

On that note, let's have a look at some interesting facts about Sunrisers Hyderabad's newest middle-order batsman.
