Harpreet Brar’s Thigh-Slap Celebration Steals the Show as PBKS Edge Out RR in IPL 2025 Thriller

It was a high-voltage IPL 2025 match at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium when Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar flipped the script against Rajasthan Royals with a signature thigh-slap celebration. Brar bowled RR's Riyan Parag in the 14th over with a skidding, sharp delivery to dismiss the set batter for 13 off 11 balls at a juncture when RR were chasing a steep 220-run target. The wicket shifted momentum firmly in PBKS's favor as they battled for a playoff spot.

 

Brar's excited thigh-slap and a nod to his Punjabi roots had the crowd electric. Teammate Arshdeep Singh joined in, handing Brar his sunglasses for a cool post-wicket celebration pose, making the moment viral on social media. Brar finished with fabulous figures of 3/22 to lead Punjab Kings to a vital 10-run win and second position on the points table.
