SRH opener Brook, who had been dropped on 45 by KKR leg-spinner Suyash Sharma, smashed 12 fours and three maximums during his unbeaten knock, getting the Sunrisers off to a fiery start and accelerating later in the middle and the death overs to help SRH post the biggest total of the season so far.
Brook earlier brought up his half-century in 32 balls, slowing down a bit after getting off to a fiery start after KKR all-rounder Andre Russell struck twice in his first over of the season. He would, however, end up scoring the next 50 in just 23 balls.
Brook’s knock also got Cricket Twitter buzzing, with plenty of reactions pouring in shortly after he raised his arms in celebration. We take a look at some of the reactions here:
