The star England batter and sensational Sunrisers Hyderabad opener, Harry Brook has fallen on the receiving end of a hard and fast-lined trolling from the Indian cricket fans. It all started with Brook’s comments for the Indian cricket fans during the post-match presentation after SRH’s win against KKR in the 19th match of the tournament.
"There are a lot of Indian fans out there who'll say well done tonight. But they were slagging me off a few days ago. Glad I could shut them up,” said Brook during the post-match presentation.
This comment didn’t really go down well with a section of the Indian cricket fans, they immediately took to Twitter to brutally troll the 24-year-old Yorkshire batter with different kinds of reactions and responses.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Bruuuhhh toda neeche ajao, itna udho mtt 😭😭😭

That's what happens when you are confident about your skills. You don't have to dance on the reels of their songs to impress.

Speaking of the entire action of the match, Brook shone for the visitors today. He smashed a swashbuckling knock of 100 runs off just 55 balls with 15 boundaries and three sixes to his name. Other than him, skipper Aiden Markram and middle-order batter Abhishek Sharma contributed with individual scores of 50 and 32 runs respectively.
On the back of these knocks, Markram’s men managed to post a big total of 228 runs for the loss of four wickets in the first 20 overs of the match. The senior all-rounder Andre Russell scalped three wickets for KKR alongside one wicket claimed by Varun Chakravarthy.
While chasing the target, only the skipper Nitish Rana and the middle order batter Rinku Singh showed some effort against the bowling attack of SRH. Rana played a knock of 75 runs off 41 balls with five boundaries and the same number of sixes on his credit. Whereas, Rinku Singh showed a quick knock of 58 runs off just 31 balls with four boundaries and the same number of sixes with the wood.
But it couldn’t help KKR to cross the finishing line and they lost the match by 23 runs to have the second loss in the tournament so far.
