Father: Mohinder Singh Brar, Mother: Gurmeet Kaur Brar
Harpreet Brar is a left-arm orthodox spinner who has steadily carved out a role for himself in the IPL with his ability to contain runs and pick up crucial wickets. The 30-year-old from Meerut first caught the attention of Punjab Kings in 2019, but it was in 2021 that he announced his arrival with a stunning spell of 3 for 19 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, dismissing Virat Kohli for his maiden IPL wicket before removing Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers in the same match. A handy lower-order batsman, Brar has become a reliable presence in the Punjab Kings setup, with his best season coming in 2023 and 2024 where he picked up 16 wickets combined. Despite being released ahead of the 2025 auction, PBKS brought him back for INR 1.50 crore, underscoring his value as a spin-bowling allrounder who can deliver in Indian conditions.
