Kevin Pietersen’s tweet regarding Harpreet Brar
In a tweet on social media platform How good was last night for Harpreet Brar? Indian selectors will have to keep a close eye on him for the World Cup! And, my boy VK, friend you are so happy.”
After the match, Brar talked about his game plan and said that my aim was to bowl as many dot balls as possible. Thanks to his bowling, Punjab came back into the match and were favorites to win the match in the last two overs. However, due to the brilliant batting of Dinesh Karthik, RCB got the victory in the end.
Harpreet Brar said after the match, “I tried to score as many runs as possible and in the process I also took two wickets. I was trying to bowl as many dot balls as possible to put pressure on the batsmen. Dot balls get you wickets in the end. In T20 cricket it is all about bowling the right length.”
