In the ongoing game between
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Friday, England star
Harry Brook played an exceptional knock, resulting in the first century of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
Brook, who was acquired by SRH for a whopping INR 13.25 crore in the auction before the season, took just 55 balls to reach this impressive milestone, hitting 12 fours and 3 enormous sixes.
Notably, Brook, who had a disappointing start to the tournament, took KKR bowlers to the cleaners to smash his maiden ton in the cash-rich league.
The witter users were stunned by the performance produced by Brook on the pitch and both experts and fans alike took to social media to laud the youngster for his historic achievement.
In addition to Brook’s outstanding performance, skipper
Aiden Markram played a significant role in the middle, scoring a fifty off just 26 balls. The pair put together a partnership of 72 runs from 47 balls.
Following Markram’s dismissal, the young left-handed batsman
Abhishek Sharma (32 runs off 17 balls) provided excellent support to Brook, resulting in a partnership of 72 runs from 33 balls, further worsening KKR’s situation.

Harry Brook said, "my girlfriend is here, but the rest of the family just left. I knew this would happen as soon as they left I'll get some runs (laughs)".

For all the sensational shots he’s played, Harry Brook has also provided a masterclass on T20 innings management tonight. Absolutely massacred pace but then swallowed his ego & played the field against spin. Brilliant knock
