Harry’s century
SHR’s most expensive purchase, the 24-year-old England’s Brook registered his maiden IPL’s century and highest individual score of the season so far. Brook reached his century in last over of the first innings off just 55 balls. In his whole innings he hammered 1212 fours and three sixes.
Riding on the Brook’s hundred the orange army finished on 228 for four, the highest total of the season and the highest-ever by a visiting team at the Eden Gardens.

Brook vs Umesh: First over
Umesh Yadav went wide outside off for the first ball, Harry Brook threw his bat at it and it races away to the offside fence.
Fourth ball of the first is slightly short from Umesh, Brook pulled it through the mid-on area and got another boundary.
Umesh went full outside off next ball and Brook moved across and paddled it past the widish fine leg. That was innovation and it’s a shot that gave him a lot of confidence.
And it had been all Harry Brook. He had already matched his highest IPL score thus far. Some good shots in first over and he just leaved that last ball, walked to the other side almost unbothered when he seems that the umpire has not called that wide for height.
