Career

Before his professional debut, Brar was a net bowler for five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the 2019 Indian Premier League.[4]

On 14 December 2022, Brar made his professional, and List A debut for Punjab against Goa.[5][6] On 20 December 2022, Brar made his first-class debut for Punjab against Railways.[7][8]

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.[9][10][11]

Brar was bought by Punjab Kings for the 2023 Indian Premier League season as a replacement for Raj Bawa for Rs. 20 Lakhs.[12] He made his IPL, and Twenty20 debut for Punjab Kings against Lucknow Super Giants, on 28 April 2023.[13][14]

One of the pacers called up for the four-day camp here is Punjab's Gurnoor Brar, who has so far played five first-class matches and he was also with Punjab Kings during the IPL last season. While his first-class record isn't flattering, what worked for the 24-year-old is his tall 6 feet 4.5 inch frame and the disconcerting bounce that he can generate with more than skiddy pace.
