If we perform in the Ranji Trophy, we get picked for India A, the Duleep Trophy or the Irani Cup. I tried to bowl the same way I did in Ranji, bowling fast, hitting a hard length and swinging the ball,\u201d Brar said after India\u2019s series-clinching 170-run win.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old, who stands 6ft 5in, said he remains focused on backing his strengths rather than his reputation as a hit-the-deck bowler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think about that much. I believe in myself and want to keep improving. I know I can bowl better than I did today (Wednesday).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brar also credited his time at Gujarat Titans, despite not playing a game, for accelerating his development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is Ashish Nehra sir, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Ishant Sharma. I learnt a lot by watching them. Every player wants to play, but I focused on learning so that when I got my chance, I could do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised the importance of yorkers in white-ball cricket, saying every fast bowler should master them, particularly for death overs, while adding that success also depends on planning, field placements and adapting to conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the ball isn\u2019t swinging, you have to push your length back. It all depends on the batsman, the wicket and the match situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 18, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/gurnoor-brar-india-a-domestic-cricket-team-india-debut\/article71116966.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s newest pace sensation Gurnoor Brar has credited years of domestic cricket and his stint with India A for helping him make a smooth transition to international cricket.
