Gurnoor Brar Net Worth and IPL Earnings Profile (2026)

As of 14 October 2026, Gurnoor Singh Brar’s exact net worth is not publicly verified. The defensible public earnings record is a set of reported IPL contract values, not a balance-sheet estimate: ₹20 lakh as Punjab Kings’ 2023 replacement signing, ₹20 lakh as Gujarat Titans’ 2024 replacement signing, and ₹1.30 crore as GT’s 2025 auction buy. GT’s official 2026 auction page lists him among retained players at ₹1.30 crore, making that the latest publicly verified season contract amount. [12] Those figures must not be treated as bank receipts, post-tax income or net assets. [2] [4] [5] [9]

Gurnoor Brar is the short name used in IPL coverage for Gurnoor Singh Brar, an Indian right-arm fast bowler from Punjab. The official IPL 2025 auction list gives his full name, birth date as 25 May 2000, Punjab Cricket Association affiliation, left-hand batting, right-arm fast bowling and a ₹30 lakh base price. It also records his previous IPL associations with PBKS and GT. [1]

Gurnoor Brar’s publicly supported salary timeline

2023: PBKS replacement signing at ₹20 lakh

On 5 April 2023, Punjab Kings signed Brar as the replacement for injured all-rounder Raj Angad Bawa. The Indian Express reported, attributing the figure to the IPL statement, that PBKS picked him for ₹20 lakh. The report described Brar as a left-handed batting all-rounder who had made his first-class debut for Punjab in December 2022. [2]

This was a replacement contract, not a normal auction purchase in the 2023 player auction. The distinction is important: it records the fee attached to his replacement place for that IPL season. It does not reveal how much of that headline amount was paid after taxes, deductions, availability provisions or other contractual terms. Brar did make his IPL debut in 2023. The IPL’s match report for PBKS against Lucknow Super Giants names him as a debutant in the starting XI on 28 April, and the Gujarat Titans profile records one IPL match, 18 balls bowled, 42 runs conceded and no wicket. [3] [4] That confirms participation, not a complete personal earnings ledger.

2024: GT replacement membership, but no safe appearance ledger

On 11 May 2024, Gujarat Titans signed Brar as a replacement for left-arm pacer Sushant Mishra for the remainder of IPL 2024. News18 reported, citing the official IPL release, that Brar joined at his base price of ₹20 lakh. [5]

This is a publicly reported GT replacement fee. It is also where the public record needs careful wording. A replacement signing establishes squad membership for the remainder of the season; it does not automatically prove a match appearance. News18’s report says Brar had played one IPL match for PBKS in 2023, while the official GT player profile’s IPL statistics show one match in 2023 and no 2024 line. [4] [5]

The safest conclusion is therefore: Brar had a documented GT replacement contract in 2024, but there is no strong public evidence here for a 2024 GT match appearance or a separate appearance-fee payment. Do not turn the IPL’s playing-member rule into an assumed 2024 payment. Brar’s own 2026 interview also described his 2024 GT involvement as a year as a net bowler before his next auction contract. [6]

2025: GT auction price of ₹1.30 crore

The 2025 auction is the clearest jump in Brar’s public IPL earning profile. On 25 November 2024, ESPNcricinfo’s live auction report said CSK started the bidding at ₹30 lakh, Punjab Kings joined, GT entered at ₹65 lakh and the price passed ₹1 crore before Gujarat Titans secured Brar for ₹1.30 crore. [7]

The contemporaneous Statesman report, published on 26 November 2024, also said GT won Brar for ₹1.3 crore after an auction contest involving Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. [8] The official GT profile repeats the ₹1.30 crore figure and says the price followed his strong 2024 Sher-E-Punjab T20 campaign. [4]

A separate 2026 Times of India profile says Brar was signed for ₹30 lakh in the 2025 auction and retained for 2026. [6] The ₹30 lakh figure matches the official auction list’s base price, not the final bid. The dated live auction report and the contemporaneous Statesman account both identify ₹1.30 crore as the winning price, so this profile treats ₹30 lakh as a base-price reference and ₹1.30 crore as the supported final auction value.

2026: GT retained salary confirmed at ₹1.30 crore

The IPL’s official 2026 retention announcement is dated 15 November 2025 and lists Gurnoor Singh Brar among Gujarat Titans’ 20 retained players. It reports GT’s total retained-player spend as ₹112.10 crore and its remaining salary cap as ₹12.90 crore, but it does not provide Brar’s individual salary. [9]

The separate official Gujarat Titans IPL 2026 auction page resolves the missing individual amount: its Players Retained table lists Gurnoor Brar at ₹1.30 crore. The table was read in full on 14 October 2026, rather than inferred from his earlier auction bid. Sportstar independently listed him among GT’s retained players on 15 November 2025. The retained salary is therefore supported for 2026; it does not confirm a 2027 deal or his personal receipts. [10] [12]

Replacement fees and auction prices are different events

A replacement fee is attached to a player joining a squad after another player becomes unavailable. An auction price is the winning bid for a player in the auction process. Brar’s timeline contains both types:

• PBKS, 2023: replacement for Raj Angad Bawa, reported fee ₹20 lakh. [2]
• GT, 2024: replacement for Sushant Mishra, reported fee ₹20 lakh at base price. [5]
• GT, 2025 season: bought at the November 2024 auction for ₹1.30 crore. [7] [8]
• GT, 2026 season: retained at ₹1.30 crore in GT’s official auction table. [9] [12]

It would be misleading to add every headline figure and label the total “Gurnoor Brar’s wealth.” A simple arithmetic sum of the three reported contract amounts is ₹1.70 crore, but even that is only a rough public-contract total. The 2024 replacement fee may have been for a partial season, and the 2025 auction contract replaced the prior squad arrangement rather than necessarily adding a second full-year payment on top. Neither the IPL nor GT has published Brar’s net salary, tax position, agent fee, injury clauses or payment schedule.

Contract money versus IPL match fees

The IPL introduced a separate match fee for the 2025–27 cycle. In its 28 September 2024 player-regulations announcement, the IPL Governing Council stated that each playing member, including the Impact Player, receives ₹7.5 lakh per match in addition to the contracted amount. [11]

That rule creates earning potential, but it does not prove Brar received a specific number of match fees. The public sources used here confirm one IPL appearance for him in 2023. They do not provide a verified appearance ledger for 2024, 2025 or 2026. The ₹7.5 lakh rule also began for the 2025 season, so it cannot be backdated to his 2023 PBKS match or his 2024 replacement membership. A player can be contracted and still not be selected in the playing XI; squad retention, travel, training and net-bowling involvement are not the same as a recorded match appearance, so no appearance-fee total is included here.

Readers comparing player earnings can use the IPL competition guide for the league context, but should keep the contracted amount and match fee as separate categories.

Bowling career and why the contract moved up

Brar’s public profile is built around pace, bounce and his development in Punjab cricket. The GT profile lists him as a bowler and gives his right-arm-fast bowling style. It also records his first-class debut against Railways in 2022, his List-A debut against Goa, a five-wicket haul of 5/14 against Bihar, and a 64 in a 2023 Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir. [4]

The 2024 Sher-E-Punjab T20 League was a significant domestic milestone: the GT profile credits Brar with 22 wickets in 11 matches, and ESPNcricinfo’s auction report identifies that performance as part of the reason he attracted attention. [4] [7] His earlier Punjab Kings period is also relevant to the PBKS retained, released and traded players analysis, although that 2027 tracker is not a confirmation of his current GT contract. Domestic form does not equal guaranteed IPL income, but it helps explain why a player who entered the public IPL record at ₹20 lakh later drew bidding beyond ₹1 crore.

His route also included less visible work. The GT profile says he was a Mumbai Indians net bowler in 2019. The 2026 Times of India interview says he joined PBKS as a net bowler, later made his IPL debut, missed the 2023–24 season after a back injury and returned to GT as a net bowler in 2024. [4] [6] Those roles matter to career development, but no public fee should be invented for them.

The same interview reports that Brar is 6 feet 5 inches tall and quotes him discussing workload and recovery with Ashish Nehra. Height can help explain scouting interest in a fast bowler who generates bounce, but it is not an earnings figure. The official auction list is the stronger source for his date of birth and role fields. [1] [6]

Endorsements and non-cricket income

There is no meaningful, reputable public disclosure in the sources reviewed that attributes a specific endorsement fee, brand retainer or commercial contract to Gurnoor Brar. The GT website lists franchise partners, but a team’s sponsor directory does not prove that Brar personally endorses those brands or receives a personal payment. No endorsement income is included in the earnings profile.

The same rule applies to domestic cricket, India A involvement, appearance work, social-media promotions and possible bonuses. Brar’s cricket record can show why his market value changed; it cannot establish private receipts. If a future interview, filing or official announcement discloses an amount, it should be dated and attributed rather than retrofitted into this profile.

What can be said about Gurnoor Brar’s net worth?

The exact answer is unknown. The distinction between reported earnings and disclosed wealth also underpins our Vaibhav Suryavanshi net-worth guide. The public record supports disclosed IPL contract headlines and a confirmed GT retention for 2026. It does not support a credible estimate of his net assets.

Net worth means assets minus liabilities. A player’s auction value is not the same thing. Taxes, agent commissions, household spending, insurance, investments, family obligations and unpaid or deferred contract amounts are private unless documented. Even the reported ₹1.30 crore auction value is a team-contract headline, not a statement of Brar’s cash balance.

The latest publicly verified season contract amount is ₹1.30 crore for IPL 2026. Further financial detail would require a dated payment disclosure, a verified match-fee record or an attributed commercial deal. Until then, “Gurnoor Brar net worth” should be presented as not publicly verified, not as a made-up rupee range.

FAQs about Gurnoor Brar’s earnings

Could Brar earn ₹7.5 lakh per IPL match?

The IPL rule provides ₹7.5 lakh per match to each playing member, including the Impact Player, from the 2025 season onward. It is not safe to count that money for Brar without a verified playing-appearance ledger. [11]

Does Brar have a disclosed endorsement income?

No reliable source reviewed gives a personal endorsement amount. Franchise sponsors and social-media visibility should not be treated as proof of an individual brand deal.
