Gurnoor Brar

Gurnoor Brar is an imposing, highly promising right-arm fast bowler and handy lower-order left-handed batter who represents one of the most exciting young pace prospects in Indian cricket. Born on May 25, 2000, in Muktsar, Punjab, he stands at a towering 6'5', utilizing his exceptional height to extract disconcerting bounce, hit heavy, hard lengths, and swing the new ball at a skiddy pace. Having initially sharpened his teeth as a net bowler for the Mumbai Indians, Brar debuted for Punjab across formats during the 2022–23 domestic calendar, quickly capturing headlines with an impact-making 52 wickets in his first 18 first-class appearances, alongside a gritty domestic half-century ($64$) that proved his credentials as a capable lower-order batsman.

His raw physical attributes and high ceiling fast-tracked him into the Indian Premier League (IPL) ecosystem, where he debuted for the Punjab Kings in 2023 before commanding a massive INR 1.3 Crore price tag from the Gujarat Titans at the 2025 Mega Auction. Continuously embedded in the India-A high-performance setup, Brar's rapid trajectory culminated in a landmark career milestone when he earned a maiden national call-up to the senior Indian Test squad for the one-off Test series against Afghanistan. Marrying rare genetic height with an aggressive, high-velocity bowling blueprint, Brar is widely regarded as a fundamental foundational asset poised to spearhead India’s next generation of red- and white-ball fast-bowling stocks.
