Brook continued to stand tall even after Andre Russell struck twice in his first over of the season, removing fellow opener Mayank Agarwal first ball, before getting rid of Rahul Tripathi off the last ball of the same over. He would bring up his maiden IPL half-century with a single off Sunil Narine in the 11th over, taking 32 balls to reach the milestone. KKR, who are eyeing their third win on the trot, earlier opted to field after skipper Nitish Rana won the toss, with the home team announcing an unchanged XI. SRH, who defeated Punjab Kings by eight wickets to collect their first points of the season earlier this week, brought Abhishek Sharma in place of Washington Sundar in their only change.
