That first season brought 2 matches and 20 runs.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 37 wickets in 860 deliveries, at 7.99 runs an over against a league rate of 8.87 for the same seasons: 0.88 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 30.

33.2% of the balls Harpreet Brar bowled were dots, a lower share than 66% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 23.2 balls.
