Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a spectacular win in their away fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday. Hyderabad’s batting sensation Harry Brook was the architect of their 23-run win. The England batter smashed a scintillating century off just 55 balls to propel his team to victory. The fact that Harry Brook took apart Kolkata’s bowling attack in their own backyard is quite remarkable.
After their impressive victory, Sunrisers Hyderabad shared an amusing Reel of Harry Brook and poked fun at Kolkata Knight Riders. The clip showed Brook eating Kolkata’s famous delicacy, rasgulla. The caption read, “Sweet Dreams."

Harry Brook was one of the most expensive buys of the last IPL auction as Hyderabad had roped him for Rs 13.25 crore. Brook had failed with the bat in his first three IPL innings and there was tremendous price-tag pressure on him. Therefore, Brook and the entire Hyderabad team management will be glad that he finally came good with the bat.
Brook’s blistering knock was laced with 12 fours and three towering sixes. The England batter was ably supported by skipper Aiden Markram and Abhishek Sharma. In fact, Markram himself registered a fine half-century. Riding on the back of Brook’s hundred, Hyderabad managed to put up 228 runs on the board.

In the end, Sunrisers Hyderabad held their nerve to win the match by 23 runs.
