Harleen Kaur Deol (born 21 June 1998) is an Indian cricketer. [1] She plays for Himachal Pradesh [2] as an attacking right-hand batter who also occasionally bowls right arm leg spin.

Harleen made her Women's One Day International (WODI) debut for India against England on 22 February 2019, at Wankhede in Mumbai, [3] becoming the second woman cricketer from Chandigarh to play for India after Taniya Bhatia. [4] She completed her schooling from Yadavindra Public School, Mohali [5] and subsequently made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against England on 4 March 2019. [6] Harleen made her Women's T20 Challenge debut for Trailblazers on 6 May 2019 against Supernovas, sharing in a 100-run partnership with Smriti Mandhana. [7]

In January 2020, she was named in India's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia. [8]

Deol went viral in July 2021 after performing an acrobatic catch while avoiding the boundary rope during the Twenty20 series against England. Fielding at long-off, Deol leapt to catch a lofted Amy Jones drive two-handed high above her head but, realising her momentum was taking her across the boundary rope to potentially concede six runs, she lobbed the ball into the air to give herself enough time to dive back onto the field of play to recapture the falling ball in mid-air. She earned praise from Sachin Tendulkar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the catch. [9] In July 2022, she was named in India's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. [10]

In the inaugural season of the Indian Women's Premier League in 2023, Harleen Deol was acquired by Gujarat Giants (GG). [11] At the four-week tournament's conclusion, she was one of thirteen batters to have amassed over 200 runs. Her 202 aggregate, which she achieved at a Strike rate of 125.46, brought her within two runs of top scoring for her team.

In December 2023, Deol was selected in India's test squad for the only Test against England.
