Harvir Baidwan is a right-arm military-medium bowler. Although his physical build suggests that he is capable of bowling with a bit more gusto, Baidwan bowls within himself, preferring to maintain control over line and length rather than striving for speed. For someone with minimal pace and no pretensions of being a wizard with the ball, Baidwan has an uncanny knack of picking up wickets, even though he can be expensive at times. He bats in the tail, but has a List A average of more than 20.
Strengths
Baidwan will take wickets - even if it is because his lack of pace and movement lull batsmen into overconfidence.
