Harry Brook’s stunning performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has garnered high praise from former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh. Singh praised Brook’s game sense and talent after his incredible century in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Brook became the first batter to score a century in the IPL 2023, opening the innings and aggressively attacking the bowlers right from the start.
Brook played breathtaking shots and ensured that he carried his innings and made them memorable ones. He smashed 12 fours and 3 sixes, helping Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) post a total of 228 runs on the board. This was a significant win for SRH as they registered their second win of the tournament.

Singh was impressed by Brook’s game sense, highlighting how he was smart enough to negotiate the spinners. He stated that Brook took singles and doubles against the spinners, rather than attempting to play similar shots as he did against the pacers. Singh explained that this showed that Brook not only had talent but also the game sense required to be successful.

Aside from Brook, Singh also praised the crucial contributions made by Aiden Markram and Abhishek Sharma for SRH. Markram scored a crucial half-century, hitting several magnificent sixes against the spinners, while Sharma played in the middle order for the same reason. The duo dominated the spinners, according to Singh.
SRH’s next challenge will be against Mumbai Indians on April 18th. With such an impressive performance from Brook, Markram, and Sharma, it will be exciting to see how they fare against one of the tournament’s top teams. Brook’s exceptional skills and game sense could undoubtedly help SRH secure another victory and potentially propel them further up the IPL 2023 leaderboard.
