KKR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2023: Brook hits century, Kolkata needs 229 runs to win

Andre Russell has struggled with cramps and has walked off the field and Shardul Thakur completes his over. Brook picked a boundary and then Klassen colected a couple more to push Hyderbad to a very comfortable position.

Abhishek Sharma plays a wonderful shot as the southpaw takes on Varun and dispatches the spinner for a maximum over the deep mid-wicket and then Brook enters into the 90s and brings the 200 for SRH.

Narine finished his quota of four overs and although he didn’t pick a wicket, Abhishek Sharma smokes the spinner for a maximum as Narine ends with figures of 4-0-28-0.

Harry Brook almost smashed the bowler and the umpire and the Englishman has moved into the eighties and has punished the Kolkata bowlers for dropping him. Any width from the bowlers is being taken to task and Abhishek joins the party by smashing Suyash for a boundary.

Brook is in full flow and this has been fantastic batting. A 92m six followed by a successful review for a caught behind and then five boundaries, including a six, Brook has helped Sunrisers cross the 150-run mark. Excellent batting and this has been a batting exhibition from the Sunrisers’ opener.

Shardul Thakur drops Abhishek Sharma and it was a very casual approach from the all-rounder. An absolute sitter and Shardul denied Suyash Sharma his maiden wicket in the match.

Varun Chakravarthy strikes and Aiden Markram falls for a 26-ball 50. Great sense of anticipation from Varun as he removes the pace, bowls a slower one and breaks the 72-run stand as Markram went on one knee and employed the sweep but failed the clear the man at the deep. An important wicket for Kolkata.

The fifty-run partnership is up between Markram and Brook and 16 runs come from Suyash Sharma’s over. Markram smashes a googly into the mid-wicket stands and then brings out the reverse targetting the deep point boundary. Successful over for Hyderabad.

Narine bowls yet another economical over but Harry Brook reaches his half-century and this has been a wonderful half-century from the opener. The move to promote Brook up the order has paid rich dividends for Hyderabad.

Suyash Sharma hands Brook a life as the leg-spinner fails to hold on to a return catch. Markram then punishes the spinner with a brilliant six over the long-off. Top shot from the SRH skipper.

Time out! Narine rolls out a brilliant over and gives just five runs with Brook trying to take the attacking route but is not successful. Kolkata trying to make further inroads and Sunrisers trying to capitalise on the start.

Varun Chakravarthy sneaks in another economical over with Brook approaching his half-century. The opener is in good form and making the most of his promotion as an opener.

Russell into the attack picks a couple of wickets and is off the attack as the physio rushes in and the all-rounder if off the park. He is on his knees, and Markram gets going with a brilliant six over the deep square leg boundary.

Varun Chakravarthy into the attack and he starts decently by giving eight runs from his opening over. SRH skipper Aiden Markram joins Harry Brook and Hyderabad has done well in its PowerPlay going at around 11 rpo.

Russel strikes and he picks two in his opening over. Mayank Agarwal’s poor form continues as the opener falls while trying to guide the ball to the third man but finds Chakravarthy inside the ring and then the all-rounder removes Tripathi, the key batsman for Hyderbad.

KKR has stopped the flow of boundaries with Nitish Rana introducing Sunil Narine. Just three runs from the over and Narine shows his class with an excellent over.

Brook has got off the blocks in a flash and dispatched Umesh Yadav for a couple of maximums and as Harsha Bhogle says on air, “Harry Brook has arrived in the IPL.” Top knock and a great start to the innings.

Lockie Ferguson with black shoes steams in from the other end and the focus will be on Mayank Agarwal. The opener has struggled to get going in this tournament, so far. Brook dispatches a slower one through the covers for a boundary and Hyderabad is off to a sedate start.

Harry Brook is off the mark with a brilliant boundary as he punishes Umesh Yadav for erring in line and offering width outside the off stump. The Englishman stands deep in his crease and pulls Umesh through the mid-wicket to give Sunrisers a good start. He then moves across the stumps and plays a wonderful ramp shot to pick three boundaries in the first over.
