In the 59th match of IPL 2025, Harpreet Brar delivered a brilliant performance for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their thrilling match against Rajasthan Royals (RR). His outstanding effort earned him the Player of the Match award. Brar’s bowling was impressive as he took three wickets in four overs, conceding only 22 runs.
Brar showed great control and aggression, dismantling the top order of RR. He removed Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and Riyan Parag at crucial moments in the game. It was his breakthrough that shifted the momentum after RR’s openers got off to a brisk start. His tight lines and smart variations made it difficult for Rajasthan’s batters to score freely.
‘Ponting sir has motivated me, worked on a lot of things.’ – Harpreet Brar
Speaking after the match, Brar said: “Feels good. I want to dedicate this award to my wife. This is my first Player of the Match award after marriage. Ponting sir has motivated me, worked on a lot of things. My plans were clear – I knew they would look to attack me. The way the wicket was behaving, the way they were batting, I had only one thing in mind – not to give easy boundary balls. I have been working with Sunil Joshi for a few years. Taught me about using the crease, reading batters.”
Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer also praised him during the post-match presentation, saying:
“Brar is consistent in the nets. Today he stepped in and delivered. His mindset has been tremendous throughout. Absolutely brilliant approach and attitude.”
