Deol went viral in July 2021 after performing an acrobatic catch while avoiding the boundary rope during the Twenty20 series against England. Fielding at long-off, Deol leapt to catch a lofted [[Amy Jones (cricketer)|Amy Jones]] drive two-handed high above her head but, realising her momentum was taking her across the boundary rope to potentially concede six runs, she lobbed the ball into the air to give herself enough time to dive back onto the field of play to recapture the falling ball in mid-air. She earned praise from [[Sachin Tendulkar]] and Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] for the catch.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/prime-minister-narendra-modi-reacts-to-harleen-deols-phenomenal-catch-2484069 |title=Prime Minister Narendra Modi Reacts To Harleen Deol’s "Phenomenal" Catch |work=NDTV Sports | first=Santosh | last=Rao | date=11 July 2021 |accessdate=12 December 2021}}</ref> In July 2022, she was named in India's team for the [[Cricket at the 2022 Commonwealth Games|cricket tournament]] at the [[2022 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Birmingham]], England.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bcci.tv/articles/2022/news/55555899/team-india-senior-women-squad-for-birmingham-2022-commonwealth-games-announced?type=Latest |title=Team India (Senior Women) squad for Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games announced |work=Board of Control for Cricket in India |access-date=11 July 2022}}</ref>
