Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Sarandeep made his Ranji debut in 1998 as a batsman and bowled neat spells of off-break keeping the batsmen quiet. In the Super League, Sarandeep caught the notice of scouts when he took eight wickets in the match with an unplayable spell of bowling, and single-handedly pulled Punjab out of the grave against Hyderabad. Nevertheless, a lamentable performance by the Punjab batsmen managed to undo all the hardwork put in by Sarandeep as they failed to chase down 176. Sarandeep's talent was certainly recognized, and he was soon picked in the India U-19 squad for the World Cup.
The Sardar, in all his turbaned charm, finally received the coveted Test cap and made his debut at Nagpur in November 2000 as a specialist off-spinner against Zimbabwe. After a dominating start by the guests, Sarandeep was introduced into the attack and kept things neat and tidy initially before making full use of the dry wicket and flummoxing batsmen to take 6 wickets in the match - his finest hour in the off-whites.
In his second first-class season, Sarandeep's wicket tally of 37 scalps once again thrust him into the limelight. The NCA spotted the spark in the off-spinner and used all the resources at their disposal, including personal training from India's famed spin quartet, to hone the raw talent of Sarandeep Singh. He continued to churn out domestic performances in the 2001 Ranji Trophy as well and was subsequently picked for a Test match against England. In what would be his final Test at Georgetown, Sarandeep was unlucky to be given a road of a pitch on which any hope of a comeback was shattered by the dominating batsmen.
After Harbhajan Singh cemented his spot in the side, it was difficult for Sarandeep to make a comeback into the national side. Nevertheless, he moved from Delhi to Himachal Pradesh for the 2006-07 domestic season and continued to play Ranji cricket until he quietly retired in 2012.
In 2016, he was inducted into the five-member national selection panel as the North Zone selector headed by MSK Prasad. And he retained his post even when the Supreme Court appointed Lodha Panel's recommendation came into effect of reducing it to a three-member panel, continuing until 2020.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
When Sarandeep Singh made his debut at Nagpur in November 2000, it was the first time in almost six months that India were playing a specialist offspinner. Brought on almost as an afterthought by his captain, when Zimbabwe had already reached 145, Sarandeep started impeccably with four maidens. He struck twice in ten balls soon after, extracting turn and bite to keep the close cordon busy, and ended the game with six wickets.
Blooded into first class cricket against Haryana at Amritsar in 1998-99, Sarandeep made 45, a legacy of having started his career as a batsman in junior cricket, but went wicketless. A superb spell against Hyderabad in the Super League quickly made pundits sit up and take notice, his match haul of eight wickets taking Punjab to the brink of victory but the effort being thwarted by the fickleness of the batsmen who failed to chase a target of 176. Before the season was out, Sarandeep was playing for the India Under-19s against the touring Sri Lankans.
Sarandeep's 37 victims at 19.43 in the 1999-2000 Ranji Trophy, just his second season in first class cricket, thrust him into the national reckoning. His swift rise was recognised by the National Cricket Academy which selected him amongst its first batch of trainees in May 2000, a tough four month grind punctuated by lessons from such masters of the craft like Prassana and Venkataraghavan. After impressing in the 2001 domestic season, Sarandeep was picked for a Test against England at Bangalore. He got one more opportunity, in the West Indies in April 2002, but one wicket for 80 in a high-scoring draw meant he was only selected for three more ODIs.
Sarandeep moved from Delhi to Himachal Pradesh for the 2006-07 domestic season - the side wanted a spinner - and finished with 28 wickets at 22.28. As he put it, the responsibility brought the best out of him, and he enjoyed his cricket more than ever.
