Barinder Sran Standing at well over 6 feet with wide shoulders and an intimidating physique, Barinder Sran is a left-arm pace bowler and powerful tail end slogger capable of hitting huge sixes. It is not tough to imagine that Sran was trained early in life to be a boxer by the same man who trained Indian Olympian Vijender Singh. Having played no age-group cricket at all, Sran owes his professional cricketing career almost exclusively to the IPL. At 17 he attended a trial camp organised by Kings XI Punjab in Mohali, but was not selected. However, he impressed Punjab selectors and was awarded a maiden First-Class call-up later in 2011.
A lacklustre season and a spate of injuries later he was back to IPL open trial camps — this time for Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Here he was spotted by Rahul Dravid, who kept an eye out for the young speedster at the IPL 2015 player auction. Sran was picked by Rajasthan Royals, but played only one game that season. The following season was a breakthrough one for Sran. He took 6 for 61 in a Ranji Trophy match against Railways on a pitch where Punjab amassed 604 for 5, drawing immense praise and comparisons with Zaheer Khan from skipper Yuvraj Singh.
He was surprisingly called up to the Indian ODI team for the tour of Australia in early 2016, where there was instantly some confusion surrounding his name. Variations of his name included — but were not limited to — Brainder Saran, Brainder Sran, Barinder Saran, and Barinder Sran (which was ultimately correct). Making his debut in the first ODI at Perth, Sran’s slower ball proved to be as confounding to opposing batsmen as his name was to journalists, as he finished with 3 for 56. His victims were Aaron Finch, David Warner, and Steven Smith. Sadly for Sran he ran out of steam midway through the series, went wicketless in his next two matches, and was dropped after the third ODI. He was subsequently overlooked for the remaining T20Is India played till IPL 2016 before being named in India’s ODI and T20I squads for the 2016 tour of Zimbabwe.
