KKR vs SRH IPL 2023 Highlights: Harry Brook's sensational century

Aiden Markram's half-century and Harry Brook's spectacular century helped SRH defeat KKR by 23 runs in the nineteenth match of the Indian Premier League 2023.

The decision was won by Nitish Rana, who elected to field first. Harry Brook dominated the formidable KKR bowlers all over the field in the powerplay, scoring 46 runs in four overs for the SRH openers. Andre Russell drew the first blood for KKR as he dispatched both Mayank Agarwal and Rahul Tripathi in his very first over. However, captain Markram and Brook added 72 runs for the third wicket to keep the scoreboard moving. Aiden Markram scored his first fifty in IPL 2023 before being run out for 50 off 26 balls.

Abhishek Sharma quickly joined the celebration, and he and Brook maintained the momentum by adding 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Meanwhile, Brook reached his first IPL century in only 55 deliveries, with 15 fours. Heinrich Klassen and Abhishek Sharma's cameos down the order enabled SRH to amass 228-4 in 20 overs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed for a single on the third delivery of the second innings as Bhuvneshwar Kumar chased 229 runs. In the fourth over, Marco Jansen dismissed both Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine. Nonetheless, the captain Nitish Rana and N Jagadeesan added 62 runs for the fourth wicket. At the conclusion of the powerplay, Rana smashed 28 runs against Umran Malik in the sixth over. Andre Russell's poor form persisted as he was dismissed for 3 runs off 6 balls.

Rana and Rinku Singh combined for 69 runs after the sixth wicket fell. Nitish Rana scored his 15th fifty in the IPL before being dismissed for 75 off 41 balls. Despite Rinku's last-ditch effort of 31-ball-58*, KKR ultimately fell short by 23 runs and lost the game.
