Harry Brook Discovers His Groove.Harry Brook, a talented young Englishman, had only scored 29 runs in three matches prior to the big game against KKR.
Brook demonstrated in front of a sold-out Eden Gardens crowd why teams wanted him at the player auction and why he received a lucrative IPL contract in his debut season. SRH purchased Brook for a whopping Rs 13.25 crore.
After failing to deliver in his first three appearances, Brook came out firing against KKR, scoring the first century of the ongoing IPL season. Brook hit an unbeaten century to propel SRH to a massive total of 228/4.
Brook Addresses Indian SupportersBrook took a scathing jab at a section of Indian fans who chastised him for failing to score runs in the early stages of this year’s IPL, after scoring the tournament’s first century and helping SRH defeat KKR.
When you’re on social media and people call you garbage, you start to doubt yourself. There will be many Indian fans who say well done, but they were slamming me just a few days ago. I’m glad I can silence them now, Brook said after the game.
On Social Media, he receives backlashBrook’s scathing remark about Indian fans did not go over well on social media, with many criticising him for being arrogant.
Some say he’s talking too big for a guy who has only scored one century in the IPL, while others say he should concentrate on cricket rather than politics.
Criticism is part of the game, and the 24-year-old should understand that when a player earns more than Rs 13 crore and fails to deliver, fans will criticise him. The best way to silence the trolls is to keep performing like he did against KKR.
