Harpreet Brar is an underrated spinner!

He has an economy rate of 6.83 in the middle overs (7-16) from IPL 2023 – third best among spinners who bowled at least 40 overs in this category from last season.

Only Sunil Narine (6.81) and Krunal Pandya (6.68) have…

Harpreet Brar has to be one, if not the best left arm spinner in T20s for India. No wonder no one is talking about his prospects in India but he has definitely bowled with a lot of heart against the big hitters in the last two or three seasons. #PBKSvsCSK

Sam Curran bringing in leg-spinner Rahul Chahar to bowl Dhoni in the 19th over was perhaps the bravest gamble the captain got from Thala in this IPL. #CSKvPBKS
