15.04.2023 - 04:29 sports.ndtv.com

Harry Brook did incur the wrath of Indian fans whose opinion about players is as fickle as English weather but he is happy that his maiden IPL hundred will "shut them up" for good.

Having scored 29 in three games so far, Brook came to his own with a 55-ball unbeaten 100 that ensured a 23-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL match here on Friday. "I was putting pressure on myself a little bit.

You go on social media and people are calling you rubbish. There's a lot of Indian fans out there who'll say well done tonight.

But they were slagging me off a few days ago. Glad I could shut them up to be honest," Brook said after the match. While he predictably rated his three Test hundreds over an IPL ton, he was satisfied to get to the milestone with his girlfriend in the stands. "My four Test hundreds will have to be over this one," he said.
