The Indian selection committee had faced plenty of criticism when they picked Gurnoor ahead of Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi. But after watching the youngster's performance, Ashwin has hit back at the critics and lauded the selectors’ decision.
Interestingly, Gurnoor also had very limited domestic experience and had played only one IPL match back in 2023, but when he got the opportunity, he proved the selectors’ call right. He finished with impressive figures of 3/27 runs in 4.5 overs in the rain-shortened Dharamshala ODI.
Ravichandran Ashwin makes big prediction on Gurnoor Brar's future
Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, "Gurnoor Brar, we have to say that he is really impressive. He is tall, and it seems like he is quite strong too. He bowled every ball over 145 kmph. There is a massive upside. The skill, action, and swing he gets with the new ball—there is a lot of upside with him. He can bowl even faster; he is young.”
He further noted, “When the selectors chose Gurnoor Brar, and not Auqib Nabi, many people talked about it. I think it was a very good spot. This is not a comparison between them, but the selectors and the coaches who saw Gurnoor have to be praised; that is a really good eye. If he stays fit and does all the right things, he can become a really big bowler for India in the future.”

Ashwin signed off by saying, “I know Harsh Dubey very well; there was no doubt in my mind that he would be a good player. He always fights, never backs down from a contest. He proved to be a little expensive, but the way he made a comeback—that is Harsh Dubey for you. He can also bat very well.”
