Gurnoor Brar has no verified player appearance at Hnry Stadium, Wellington, through 4 November 2026. The distinction matters: Brar was not selected for India’s completed 27 October T20I at the ground, while his first completed ODI against New Zealand came at Eden Park, Auckland on 4 November. His Wellington record is therefore an absence, not a line of zeros.
This page keeps three scopes separate. It gives Brar’s complete verified ODI career through the cutoff, his career record against New Zealand, and the narrower Hnry Stadium record. It does not mix in Punjab, India A, IPL or other domestic statistics. For broader Wellington context, see the Hnry Stadium ground guide and the current New Zealand–India second-ODI timing and venue article. Editorial standards are explained in the CricWin24 editorial policy.
Key Takeaways
- Brar has 0 verified player appearances at Hnry Stadium through the 4 November 2026 cutoff.
- The 27 October Hnry T20I was completed, but Brar was absent from India’s playing XI and did not bat or bowl.
- His complete verified ODI record at the cutoff is 10 matches, 17 wickets at a 6.92 economy rate, and 36 batting runs.
- Against New Zealand, his completed ODI record is 3 wickets for 44 runs at Eden Park; this is not a Hnry statistic.
What is Gurnoor Brar’s Hnry Stadium record?
The verified Hnry player record is empty so far. The completed New Zealand–India third T20I on 27 October lists India’s bowlers as Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Axar Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Brar is not in the playing XI, and he does not appear in either innings’ batting or bowling card (Cricinfo scorecard). The match report confirms the Wellington result: India made 199 for 4 in 13.2 overs after New Zealand’s 198 for 3 and won by six wickets (Cricinfo match report).
That is a no-appearance, not a performance of 0 runs, 0 overs or 0 wickets. A player who is selected but does not bat has a different status from a player who is not selected. Keeping that distinction visible prevents the Wellington record from being mistaken for a poor bowling spell.

Brar’s complete ODI career through 4 November 2026
Brar’s ODI debut came against Afghanistan at Dharamsala on 13 June 2026. Across the ten verified ODI scorecards through India’s 4 November match at Auckland, he has taken 17 wickets for 625 runs from 542 legal balls. That is a 36.76 bowling average, a 6.92 economy rate and a 31.88-ball strike rate. His best innings figures are 3 for 27. He has no four-wicket or five-wicket ODI haul in this scorecard set.
With the bat, Brar has four ODI innings, two not-outs, 36 runs from 42 balls and a top score of 18 not out. His batting average is 18.00 and his strike rate is 85.71. He has two verified catches. The figures are calculated from the match rows rather than copied from a stale compact profile; the arithmetic treats 9.2 overs as 56 legal balls, not 9.2 decimal overs.
| Format | Matches | Batting inns | Runs | Not outs | Average | Strike rate | Bowling inns | Overs | Runs conceded | Wickets | Economy | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ODI | 10 | 4 | 36 | 2 | 18.00 | 85.71 | 10 | 90.2 | 625 | 17 | 6.92 | 3/27 |
| Test | No appearance verified | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| T20I | No appearance verified | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
The first six ODIs show Brar’s early international workload: three wickets on debut, another three in Lucknow, two wickets in the first England ODI, two more in Cardiff and a wicketless 97-run spell at Lord’s. He then took three wickets in India’s 4 November Auckland win. Cricinfo’s contemporary assessment described him as a developing fast bowler being tested in difficult phases rather than protected from them (Cricinfo feature).
What are Gurnoor Brar’s numbers against New Zealand?
The completed player sample against New Zealand is one ODI. On 4 November at Eden Park, Auckland, Brar bowled 9.2 overs, conceded 44 runs and took three wickets. His match figures were therefore 3 for 44, with a 4.71 economy rate, a 14.67 bowling average and an 18.67 strike rate. India won by five wickets under the DLS method (New Zealand vs India, 1st ODI scorecard).
Brar did not bat in that match, so his New Zealand ODI batting average and strike rate are undefined. They should not be rendered as zero. The Auckland performance is also not a Wellington performance: Eden Park and Hnry Stadium are separate grounds and the scorecard’s ground field identifies Eden Park.
| Date | Format | Ground | Opponent | Result | Batting | Bowling | Fielding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Nov 2026 | ODI | Eden Park, Auckland | New Zealand | India won by 5 wickets (DLS) | DNB | 9.2–0–44–3 | No catch credited |
The 27 October Hnry T20I should not be added to the New Zealand player aggregate. India’s team played, but Brar did not. This is the same reason a team result cannot be substituted for an individual appearance.

The ten ODI scorecards listed under Sources document these match rows and their batting and bowling figures. The separate 27 October Hnry T20I scorecard confirms that Brar did not play; it is not a player-performance row in his record.
