Career

Before his professional debut, Brar was a net bowler for five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the 2019 Indian Premier League.[2]

On 14 December 2022, Brar made his professional, and List A debut for Punjab against Goa.[3][4] On 20 December 2022, Brar made his first-class debut for Punjab against Railways.[5][6]

On 10 January 2023, during a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, Brar made the headlines after he stabilized Punjab's first innings by scoring 64 and was in a 100-run partnership with Siddharth Kaul, which helped them win by 4 wickets.[7][8][9]

Brar was bought by Punjab Kings for the 2023 Indian Premier League season as a replacement for Raj Bawa for Rs. 20 Lakhs.[10] He made his IPL, and Twenty20 debut for Punjab Kings against Lucknow Super Giants, on 28 April 2023.[11][12]

He was named in India's Test and One Day International (ODI) squads for the 2026 home series against Afghanistan, and made his international debut in the first ODI on 13 June.[13]

But the 26-year-old's raw pace, and 6'5" frame, convinced the wise men that he would be more than handy. So he proved in the first ODI against the Afghans in Dharamshala on Saturday, returning figures of three for 27 from 4.5 overs in India's seven-wicket victory in a rain-curtailed encounter.
