 "KKR vs SRH: Harry Brook 'glad' to shut Indian fans with match-winning century against Kolkata Knight Riders")
Harry Brook, Sunrisers Hyderabad batter, had come under intense criticism from Indian fans on social media after his poor start to IPL 2023 in his debut season. SRH spent Rs 13.25 crore on the 24-year-old cricketer who is seen as the next best English batter. Brooks however could only manage 29 runs in the first three games in IPL 2023 but proved his worth with a 55-ball unbeaten 100 to fire SRH to a 23-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.

You go on social media and people are calling you rubbish. There’s a lot of Indian fans out there who’ll say well done tonight. But they were slagging me off a few days ago. Glad I could shut them up to be honest,” Brook shared after the match.

In only six matches, Brook already has four Test hundreds to his name and while he rated them above the IPL century, he was delighted with the win . “My four Test hundreds will have to be over this one,” he said. “It was a special night. Thankfully, we got over the line as well. Got a little tense in the middle. A lot of people say that opening the batting in T20 is the best time to bat.

I enjoyed it,” Brook added. Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
