He failed to get a single game with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025.

Chepauk Super Gillies all-rounder Swapnil Singh produced a brilliant display with the bat in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) on Monday.

Swapnil Singh’s aggressive knock

He amassed 45 runs from just 14 balls, hitting two fours and five sixes in the process and finished with an impressive strike-rate of 321.43.

Swapnil Singh had returned to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for IPL 2025 after the franchise brought him for INR 50 lakh at the mega auction last year. However, he failed to get a game in IPL 2025.

On Monday, Swapnil Singh walked out to bat at number six when Chepauk Super Gillies were 154/4 in the 17th over. N Jagadeesan (13) had just been dismissed and the task was cut out for Swapnil and Vijay Shankar (47) at the other end.

India's title triumph in the 2007 World Twenty20 (Now called T20 World Cup) is what brought me to cricket. Since then, I have keenly followed all the highs and lows of Indian cricket. From having taken cut-outs of major tournament schedules as a teenager, to writing about my favourite sport and players, I have come a long way, so much so that cricket has become a regular part of my life. For me, nothing can beat a team with Virat Kohli in it, because I believe that the hard work that he puts up, and the commitment he has towards his team, is second to none.
