Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Gursharan is still fondly remembered for his spellbinding knock of 298 not out against West Bengal in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final played at Eden Gardens in 1988-89. Bengal had compiled a monstrous total of 594. So, Punjab now had to take the first innings lead to progress towards the semi-final of the competition. Despite losing wickets at the other end, Gursharan stood tall amidst the ruins. Eventually, they were bowled out just 43 runs short of Bengal's score and Gursharan remained unbeaten.
The Indian selectors finally recognised Gursharan's ability to notch up tall scores and was picked for the tour of New Zealand. He made his Test debut in Auckland and collected 18 runs. It turned out to be the only Test of his career. After playing in a ODI against Australia in the Rothmans Cup, he never again played for India. Gursharan though, showed great self-belief as he continued to make his mark in the domestic circuit. In 1992-93, he captained Punjab from the front with the bat and also was praised for his tactical nous as they clinched the Ranji Trophy title.
Gursharan retired from the game after the 1994-95 domestic season. Ever since he walked into retirement life, he has started the Gursharan Singh coaching academy in Gurgaon.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With a century in his maiden first class match against an international attack no less (for India U-22 vs England in 1981-82), Gursharan Singh kickstarted his career with rare panache. Two seasons later he was on the playing field during a Test match against West Indies at Ahmedabad, albeit as a substitute, and took an unprecedented four catches at forward short leg. His greatest but most tragic moment in a lengthy Ranji Trophy career for Punjab came during the quarter final against Bengal in 1988-89 when he ran out of partners after making a monumental 298. More was the pity since he finished on the losing side as Punjab fell 43 short of Bengal's 594. His unstinting efforts in domestic cricket finally gained him a solitary Test cap on the tour of New Zealand in the following season, where he batted No.7, before being consigned to the ranks of the also rans. Gursharan ended his Ranji career with 4067 runs (47.29) from 70 matches (Sankhya Krishnan).
