Hailing from Punjab, Sandhu is the first cricketer of Indian origin to play for Australia. He is a tall fast bowler and represented Australia in the U-19 World Cup.

Having made his debut for Australia in early 2015, Sandhu caught the world's eye when he was handed an IPL contract.

Coming to his family, Sandhu's father had migrated to Sydney for better living opportunities. He worked as a driver in Sydney, little knowing that his son would go on to represent Australia in cricket one day.
