‘I do not know how to react; I’m lost my words now’: Harry Brook
“Hi Orange Army. I am really excited and grateful for this opportunity to come to the IPL this year. I am really looking forward to play for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. I have heard the atmosphere is unbelievable. One of the best grounds in the comp (competition). So, I am really excited for us to be back to Uppal,” Brook said in a video posted by Sunrisers Hyderabad on their Twitter handle. I don’t how to react, I’m lost my words now. I have dinner with my mom and grandmother and they are crying when SRH picked me in IPL auction,” said an elated Brooks after being picked by SRH.
Jonny Bairstow’s freak injury probably allowed Brook to become a part of England’s T20 World Cup squad. However, very few will argue that the youngster deserved it. Brook has played some incredible knocks in T20 leagues around the world and is highly rated back home as well. He has played just 17 T20Is for England at a decent strike rate of 137.77. However, he showed why he’s hailed as a future star after scoring 480 runs in just three Tests in the away series against Pakistan.

Brook’s three hundreds played a huge role in helping England whitewash Pakistan. He proved to be a perfect middle-order batter for the visitors’ ‘BazBall’ ideology. Ben Stokes even hailed Brook as the Virat Kohli of English cricket. The young batter will now be looking to emulate his good form in the upcoming IPL edition for the Orange Army.
