Puneet Datey is an Indian domestic cricketer born in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh on 10 September 1994. A right‑arm medium‑pace bowler and a right‑handed batsman, Puneet plays primarily as a bowler. He made his senior List A debut for Madhya Pradesh during the 2013–14 season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.  Over the years, he has been a regular feature in his state’s domestic squads across formats — First‑class, List A, and T20. As a bowler, he has delivered consistent performances: in first‑class cricket he has taken over 100 wickets at a respectable average (~ 26.18), including multiple five‑wicket hauls. His career reflects durability and reliability — traits valuable in red‑ball cricket. 

On the batting front, while not primarily a batsman, he has contributed useful lower‑order runs, showing that he can offer more than just bowling when needed. For clubs or leagues seeking a seasoned domestic‑level pace bowler — especially in conditions favoring seam bowling — Puneet offers a solid option. His experience, combined with his bowling skill set and adaptability across formats, makes him a reliable pick for domestic sides.
