Prior to the upcoming IPL 2023 mini-auction, star England batter Harry Brook is delivering a clear message to all IPL franchisees. Brook is using his all-T20 caliber to perform well. In the recent Test series against Pakistan, the 23-year-old just reached his third century.
The fact that all these centuries have passed by in such a short amount of time has been remarkable. The way Brook is handling the spin challenge on twisting tracks suggests that he has a point to make.
In terms of T20I performance, Brook has played for England in 20 games and has scored 372 runs. He is a right-handed batsman. His top score is 81, and he has a very high strike rate of 137.78.
Harry Brook plays T20 matches all around the world. The Yorkshire-born player scored 264 runs in 10 games during the Pakistan Super League 2022 with an astounding strike rate of 171.43. At the T20 Blast 2022, he put on a display of his daring stroke play and scored 436 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 164.91. Know the top 4 teams which can target Harry Brook during the IPL 2023 auction.
Delhi Capitals
The young star from Yorkshire has been one of England’s best and most reliable batters this year across all formats. With 238 runs in 6 innings, Brook finished third in the seven-match T20I series against Pakistan.
In a three-match Test series against Pakistan in Asian conditions, he also smashed three hundred. For Delhi Capitals, who are now trying to fill that hole, his ability to attack the bowlers—especially spinners—and consistently hit boundaries will be crucial.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Kane Williamson and Nicholas Pooran are among the 12 players that SRH has released in an effort to restructure their team for the IPL 2023 season.
In IPL 2022, Hyderabad suffered another disaster by placing eighth in the point standings. SRH can quickly target Brook to bolster its middle order because they have money in its IPL auction purse.
Brook can fill the role of the wicket-keeper batsman because he is also an adept wicketkeeper. Hyderabad’s overall performance has significantly decreased over the past few seasons, and the squad would benefit from the hiring of a star like Harry Brook to boost morale.
Punjab Kings
The former PBKS captain, Mayank Agarwal was released from the Punjab Kings team ahead of IPL 2023. Due to Mayank’s departure, Punjab will be trying to bring in a batsman who can score runs quickly and put pressure on the opposition. In that situation, Harry Brook is one of Punjab’s greatest possibilities. Brook is a skilled speed attack player that can create reliable alliances throughout a match. He also has a reputation for hitting big and quick boundaries.
Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans made history in the 15th season by capturing the IPL championship in just their first season. Gujarat had a successful campaign overall, but they had trouble selecting the appropriate player for the third spot in the batting order.
Gujarat could turn to Brook to allay their batting-related worries. The 23-year-old has the ability to bat in the top order in addition to the middle order, where he typically bats. He can play spin and is a master of fast bowling.
