Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar said that taking the wicket of Virat Kohli is always a big wicket for any young player. Many years after saying goodbye to cricket, he will tell his children and grandchildren that he took the wicket of Kohli.
Brar also said that whenever Virat Kohli comes to bat, he teases him in Punjabi, which has already been seen in a viral video.
Which video clip is Harpreet Brar talking about?
Harpreet Brar became famous after taking 3 important wickets in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League. One of those three wickets was that of Indian run-machine Virat Kohli along with AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell.
Later, he became an important part of the Punjab Kings, playing as a left-arm spinner and a useful lower-order batsman. His performance in this match helped him remain in the franchise.
However, the clip we are talking about is from last year’s IPL season, where while batting, Virat Kohli was involved in an intense, friendly Punjabi banter with Punjab Kings bowler Harpreet Brar.
What did Virat Kohli say to Harpreet Brar?
After taking the wicket of Virat Kohli in the 2021 edition of IPL. Virat Kohli was heard telling him, “It’s been 20 years since I played cricket, I won’t be stumped like this. I know your coach too.”
However, Brar knows that it was because of love, and he remembers that incident and enjoys it immensely. Virat Kohli played a match-winning innings while chasing the target, due to which he was also given the Man of the Match award.
Can we see the same thing again in IPL 2026?
As we know, Kohli’s love language with young players is quite different from what we have seen in international cricket over the years. Also, in his opening game, he was seen holding Ishan Kishan’s face while he was attacking his bowlers while chasing the target.
So, considering the current circumstances, there is no doubt that we can see more such clips where he can be seen joking around with Indian players. Kohli has already retired from Test and T20I formats; Now he just wants to enjoy his game.
However, after seeing Kohli’s current form, I would say that it will be really difficult to take the wicket of the King this time, especially for a young bowler. Since he is looking in his top form where he is not only playing with the ball but also coming out of the crease and playing with the bowlers and crossing the boundary line.
Can Harpreet Brar play an important role for Punjab Kings?
Harpreet Brar, who has been a part of the Punjab-based franchise for the last 3 seasons, will definitely try to take them to the win line this year, which they missed by just 1 game last season. Being a left-arm spinner who can drift the ball and play some useful innings as a lower-order batsman, he is an important part of the team.
Brar will be seen leading the spin department for Punjab Kings along with experienced Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who is eyeing a national comeback in the Indian team. This right and left arm spin pair will play a big role for Shreyas Iyer and Company.
However, Punjab are yet to play their first match, which will be against Gujarat Titans at their home ground tomorrow.
