Harpreet Brar is a left-arm orthodox spinner from India. He bowls slow left-arm and bats left-handed, offering the team balance in limited-overs cricket.
In ODI cricket, Brar has accumulated 256 runs with the bat. His primary role, however, is as a bowler, where he operates as a conventional left-arm spinner - the stock delivery turning away from right-handers, with variations to trouble left-handed batsmen.
Left-arm orthodox spinners remain valuable in international cricket, particularly in conditions that offer turn or against lineups vulnerable to spin. Brar's selection reflects India's confidence in his ability to control overs and take wickets in the middle overs of one-day cricket.
His left-handed batting provides useful depth down the order, allowing him to contribute with the bat when required. The combination of bowling skill and lower-order batting experience makes him a useful squad player for India's limited-overs formats.
