The Punjab all-rounder was picked in the playing XI for the first time ahead of Arshdeep Singh and he delivered with a performance to remember. Playing in just his fourth match for PBKS, he went on to bag the Man of the Match.
In the first innings, Brar rescued PBKS with a vital partnership alongside skipper KL Rahul. He scored 25 off 17 balls at the death to help take side past the 170 mark. Then with the ball, he picked up the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers to all but seal the deal. He was also assured in the field as also held a catch to cap off a truly memorable evening for him.
