Jatinder Singh in an official team guide
The ICC’s 2021 men’s T20 World Cup guide identifies Oman player Jatinder Singh and records Ludhiana, India, as his birthplace. Its profile places his T20 international debut against Afghanistan in Dublin in 2015. It also recalls his appearances in the 2016 tournament and his role as Oman’s leading run-scorer in the 2019 qualifying competition. These details make the full sporting credit identifiable across several competitions. They are more informative than assigning a nationality, ancestry or community solely from the name. It also records his first one-day international century against Nepal at Al Amerat in September 2021.[1]
The guide’s figures belong to its 2021 snapshot. They describe the career then being introduced to tournament readers, rather than a running account of his later record.[1]
A later, explicitly dated captain’s credit
An ICC squad announcement dated 30 December 2025 names Jatinder Singh as captain of Oman’s fifteen-player unit for the 2026 T20 World Cup. It identifies Vinayak Shukla as vice-captain and repeats Jatinder Singh with the captain’s marker in the squad list. This is dated evidence of selection and responsibility for that tournament. The role should remain attached to that announcement, rather than becoming a permanent title or a claim about every subsequent team selection.[2]
A distinct director in Punjabi cinema
The British Board of Film Classification’s record for Maurh credits Jatinder Mauhar as director. It identifies a 2023 production, gives a UK release date of 9 June 2023 and records Punjabi as the language. The cinema entry also distinguishes the feature from its trailer versions. These fields anchor another public use of Jatinder in a specific professional work. Retaining the complete director credit helps identify whose contribution is being described; neither the film’s dramatic story nor the classification category explains the lexical origin of his given name.[3]
