Harry Brook hit his maiden Indian Premier League century with 100 not out off 55 balls in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 23-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The England batter, 24, smacked 12 fours and three sixes in a sublime knock to help Sunrisers post 228-4.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kolkata could only reach 205-7 in reply despite Nitish Rana’s 75 from 41 balls, and Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 58 off 31.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brook is the first batter to hit a ton in this year’s IPL and the fifth England batter in history to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My girlfriend is here but the rest of my family have just left,” said Brook, who had scored only 29 runs across his first three IPL games.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I knew this would happen – as soon as they left I will get some runs. I’m sure they’ll all be very happy for me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Opening the batting, Yorkshire’s Brook took 32 balls to reach his half-century, needing only 23 further deliveries to bring up his second T20 ton.<\/span><\/p>\n

This century is Brook’s latest exploit in a staggering year for the right-hander, who has established himself as one of the most thrilling batters in world cricket in all formats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brook recorded his first T20 century with an unbeaten 102 off 48 balls for Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League in February 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was bought by Sunrisers for \u00a31.35m in December’s auction for the 2023 IPL, a month after helping England win the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brook has also enjoyed a stunning start to his Test career, hitting four centuries in his first six matches at an average of 80.90 with a remarkable strike rate of 98.77 runs per 100 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the expected return after a leg injury of Jonny Bairstow, who Brook replaced in the Test team, Brook is set to be a key part of England’s plans to try and regain the Ashes against Australia at home this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

He joins Kevin Pietersen, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Bairstow as the only England batters to hit IPL centuries. England limited-overs captain Buttler has struck five in the competition, while Test captain Stokes has two.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Africa’s Aiden Markram struck 50 off 26 balls and Abhishek Sharma added 32 off 17 to help the Sunrisers post the highest total so far in this year’s competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knight Riders opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz fell for a duck off the third ball of their chase, with the hosts then slipping to 20-3 at Eden Gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andre Russell fell from the first ball of the 11th over to leave his side 96-5, before captain Rana and Rinku kept Kolkata in the chase with a stand of 69 off 39 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinku, who sensationally <\/span>struck five sixes off the last five balls<\/span><\/a> to lead Kolkata to victory over Gujarat Titans on Sunday, could not maintain his onslaught after Rana fell as the Sunrisers secured their second win.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
