Harry Brook Slams 1st Century Of IPL 2023. Twitter Praises "Rs 13.25 Crore Man"

Harry Brook produced a sublime performance for Sunrisers Hyderabad to slam the first century of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 during the encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. The England international took just 55 balls to reach the impressive milestone and his innings was adorned with 12 fours and 3 huge sixes. Brook, who was picked by SRH for a massive Rs 13.25 crore in the auction ahead of the season, did not have a good start to the tournament. However, he was in full flow on a flat pitch as the right-hander dominated the KKR bowlers and paced his innings almost perfectly. The only blemish in his innings was a dropped catch by Suyash Sharma and the chance proved to be extremely costly for the hosts as Brook was at his destructive best at the Eden Gardens.

Opted to bowl, KKR fielding was also a big letdown as Skipper Aiden Markram also played an impactful innings in the middle when he raced to a 26-ball fifty as the duo stitched together 72 runs from 47 balls.

The move to make Harry Brook open the innings has paid off. First century this season
