On Friday, April 14, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, England‘s Harry Brook eventually lived up to his reputation in the ongoing 16th season of the Indian Premier League. He scored 100 off 55 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Brook scored the first century of the current season by assisting Sunrisers Hyderabad to an enormous first-inning total of 228 for four runs.
In his first three innings, the 24-year-old batsman scored only 29 runs and failed to validate his INR 13.25 crore price tag. Nonetheless, he silenced his detractors with a remarkable inning while opening for the second time this season.
Harry Brook joked to the commentators after his incredible innings that he couldn’t score runs while his family was in India, but as soon as they departed, he scored a century, leaving the commentators in fits of laughter.
“My girlfriend is present, but my family has just left.” I was certain that I would experience diarrhea after their departure (laughter). Harry Brook stated to the broadcasters, “No, I’m sure they’ll all be very happy for me.”
Markram and Abhishek Sharma lent support to Harry Brook.
Harry Brook innings featured three sixes and twelve fours, as he came to the crease with an aggressive mindset and continued to strike the bowlers despite his team losing two wickets in the powerplay. Aiden Markram, the captain, helped him out a lot by scoring 50 runs off 26 deliveries as they combined for a third-wicket total of 72 runs off 47 balls.
He then participated in a 72-run partnership with Abhishek Sharma off just 33 deliveries, bringing SRH’s total past 220. Half centuries from Nitish Rana (75 off 41 balls) and Rinku Singh (58* off 31 balls) helped Kolkata reach 205/7 in their allotted 20 overs in their second innings.
