The IPL 2023 has seen Brook struggle, scoring just 16 runs in two innings. In contrast to the four runs, he scored against the Lucknow Super Giants on Friday, only 13 runs were scored in his first appearance.
Harry Brook played in his first Twenty20 match against the West Indies in January 2022, but it wasn’t until the September tour of Pakistan that his skill was acknowledged.
He had three test hundreds before entering the Indian Premier League after dominating in the shortest format with a strike rate of 163.01.
