REAL or FAKE: Examining the viral photograph linked to Gurnoor Brar on social media

Indian cricketer Gurnoor Brar has been the subject of online attention after a photograph allegedly connected to him circulated on social media on November 1, 2026. The image, presented as a Snapchat story screenshot, remains unverified.

The 26-year-old right-arm fast bowler entered India’s ODI setup after making his international debut against Afghanistan on June 13, 2026. He has been part of the senior one-day squad since that debut. No public statement from Brar about the circulating photograph has been published.

The viral picture appears to be a screenshot of a Snapchat story showing a mirror selfie under Gurnoor Brar’s name. The screenshot displays a Snapchat profile name, a story timestamp and other in-app features visible in the image. The original Snapchat post is not available to verify the photograph’s provenance.

There is no confirmation that the Snapchat account shown in the screenshot belongs to Brar or that he posted the photograph himself. It is also unclear whether the image has been edited or created using AI. So far, Brar has not made any public statement about the photo.
