Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar slams ‘fake fan’ after deceptive selfie request
Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar has called out a 'fake fan' after an awkward encounter during a Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament match. The incident, which unfolded on Friday, left the cricketer frustrated enough to share his experience on social media. Brar, a long-serving player for Punjab Kings, has been a key figure in the team since his debut in 2018.
The issue began when a fan approached Brar for a selfie, claiming to be a loyal follower. After the interaction, Brar checked his social media accounts and found no trace of the person. Realising the dishonesty, he took to Snapchat to vent his annoyance, stating, 'This world is full of fake people.' The fan’s identity remains undisclosed.
The incident highlights the occasional downsides of fame for athletes like Brar. Meanwhile, his consistent performances continue to earn him a place in the Punjab Kings squad. With another season ahead, the spinner remains a vital part of the team’s plans.
