Nitish Rana vs Umran Malik
Kolkata skipper Rana however, refused to give up and brought his side back in the chase with a brilliant counterattack. And a defining moment during his stay at the crease was smashing tearaway SRH’s pacer Umran Malik for 28 runs in the final over of the powerplay.
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.
