Who is Devendra Singh Bora: One of the emerging talents from Uttarakhand cricket, Devendra Singh Bora has quickly caught the eye with his performances in the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2024. Representing USN Indians in last edition, the right-arm medium pacer was among the joint highest wicket-takers in the tournament, picking up 8 wickets in 5 matches.
With a best bowling figure of 3/32, a solid bowling average of – 15.50, and a sharp strike rate of 11.38 balls per wicket, Bora proved to be a consistent threat. Though his overall economy rate (8.18) was slightly on the higher side in certain matches, he delivered one standout spell – 3 overs, 2 wickets for just 7 runs, at a stunning economy of 2.33. That performance highlighted his potential to control the game when it matters.
Primarily a bowler for Uttarakhand in domestic cricket, Bora plays a key role with the ball. His batting contributions remain limited for now, but there’s potential to grow as a lower-order hitter.

Strengths and Growth Areas
Bora’s ability to take wickets consistently makes him valuable in T20s. However, improving control under pressure, especially in death overs and expanding his skill set with more variations (slower balls, cutters) will be crucial. Enhancing his batting would also add versatility to his profile.
New Chapter: Dehradun Warriors
For the upcoming season, Bora will represent Dehradun Warriors, a move that brings new opportunities. The team sees him as a key strike bowler capable of delivering early breakthroughs and maintaining pressure in the middle overs.
With continued consistency and better economy management, Devendra Singh Bora could soon be in the radar for higher domestic leagues or even IPL franchises.
