England’s new batting sensation Harry Brook brought high-flying Kolkata Knight Riders to the ground with 55 as the Sunrisers Hyderabad took their second victory by 23 runs in an IPL match at Eden Gardens on Saturday. Young Brook finally cracked the IPL code in style when SRH scored 228 out of 4 over a stipulated 20 overs on a batting beauty. Their bowlers, despite some hits from home skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh, were capped at 205 for 7 of 20 overs. Brook, who was tied up after his exploits in Pakistan, finally announced his arrival in style as he broke four fours and two sixes in the first three overs to give SRH their best start to the season.

After the second win at the trot, SRH moved up from 9th place in the points table to 7th. Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians slipped to 8th and 9th respectively.
