'''Ian Dev Singh Chauhan''' is an Indian cricketer who plays predominantly as a [[batsman]]. He was captain of the [[Jammu and Kashmir cricket team|Jammu and Kashmir]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]] in [[2013–14 Ranji Trophy|2013-14]]. Recently he moved to the United States and was made captain for the Seattle Thunderbolts for the [[Minor League Cricket|MiLC]] 2024 season.<br />
<br />
== Early life ==<br />
Ian Dev Singh was born in Gandhinagar, [[Jammu]] into a [[Rajput dynasty|Rajput]] family and named after [[Ian Botham]] and [[Kapil Dev]], his father's two favorite cricketers. He completed his [[Bachelor of Engineering]] degree at [[D. Y. Patil]] University in [[Navi Mumbai]] while simultaneously playing Ranji Trophy cricket, occasionally necessitating flying in to sit an exam directly between Jammu and Kashmir fixtures.<ref name=TOI>{{Cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/icc-world-cup-2015/top-stories/JK-skipper-Ian-Dev-is-another-talent-on-the-rise/articleshow/22606442.cms|title = J&amp;K skipper Ian Dev is another talent on the rise. New Zealand in India 2016 News - Times of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Jammu and Kashmir's cricketing infrastructure remains somewhat underdeveloped, and Ian Dev Singh developed as a cricketer by playing club cricket in Mumbai. He noted in 2012 that, '[t]he competition even at the club level [in Mumbai] is very tough whereas back in our state, we get limited opportunities. We rarely get solid preparation before the Ranji season commences.'<ref name=Zeenews>{{Cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/sports/cricket/bedi-has-changed-mindset-of-jandk-cricketers-says-ian-dev-singh_736353.html|title = Bedi has changed mindset of J&amp;K cricketers, says Ian Dev Singh|date = 24 January 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
Another major influence on the development of his game was former India captain [[Bishan Bedi]], coach of Jammu and Kashmir between 2011 and 2014. With Bedi's guidance helping him overhaul his mental approach to batting, Dev Singh scored 406 runs at 67.66 in first-class matches in 2011–12, and earned selection for North Zone in the [[Duleep Trophy]].<ref name=Zeenews /> For his part, Bedi described Dev Singh as 'a very good shorter version batsman and a brilliant fielder' who was 'definitely ready for a break', either in the form of an international call-up or an [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] contract.<ref name=TOI /> As of 2017, however, such honours have eluded him.<br />
