Who is 6.5 feet Indian pacer, Gurnoor Brar? All you need to know about it

The Indian cricket team is all set to take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series starting on September 19. The first match will be held at the historic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While both teams are engrossed in their preparations, the Indians have gone a step further. Bangladesh have included their six-foot-five-inch bowler Nahid Rana for the upcoming series. To counter this Bangladesh's selection, Indians have come up with a similar player. 

The Indian management have found Gurnoor Brar, a brilliant player who will help the batters in the nets before the start of the Bangladesh series. He is also six feet 4.5 inches tall and has played in five first-class games. The 24-year-old player doesn't have much experience on the field, but his height and pace will be important for batters to get used to of the pace from a taller bowler. Even though Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are there, the height can make a difference. 

If we talk about Nahid Rana, he's an exceptional player whose performance was impressive in the Pakistan series. He bowled at a speed of 150 mph, which didn't allow the Pakistan batters to settle down. The same thing might happen for the Indian team as well. Hence, to prevent this damage, the Rohit Sharma-led team were seen practicing with Brar ahead of the series.
