After the auction, the Hyderabad franchise shared a video where Harry Brook was seen saying: “Hi Orange Army. I am really excited and grateful for this opportunity to come to the Indian T20 League this year. I am really looking forward to playing for the Hyderabad franchise. I have heard the atmosphere is unbelievable. One of the best grounds in the comp (competition). So, I am really excited for us to be back in Uppal. I have lost words, I was having dinner with my mother and grandmother, and they were crying when Hyderabad picked me up. Thank you so much, Hyderabad.”
