Because of his consistent run-scoring ability for England, SRH was able to purchase him for a whopping ?13.25 crore at the IPL 2023 auctions. Even though Brook scored a thrilling hundred at Eden Gardens, his form declined as the competition progressed. The Sunrisers then decided to cut him out for the following campaign. But considering his indisputable skill, many teams would be thinking about the possibility of a more affordable price for Brook at the auction.
