13, 3, 13… This score belongs to the Sunrisers Hyderabad player, on whom the franchise spent Rs 13.25 crore in the auction. With the hope that on whom he is spending money, he will win them, but in the last 3 matches, Harry Brook could not go beyond 13 runs. Brook flopped in the third consecutive match. Hyderabad registered their first win of IPL 2023 against Punjab Kings, but their 13 crore player could not walk in this match as well.

Brook was able to score only 13 runs against Punjab. Arshdeep Singh bowled him. Earlier, in the last match against Lucknow Super Giants, he scored only 3 runs in 4 balls. Whereas in the first match of Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals got bowled for 13 runs. It is also a coincidence that Hyderabad played 2 out of these 3 matches at their home and in both those matches they were able to score only 13 runs and Brook was bowled both times.

Hyderabad had won
Brook was bought by Hyderabad for many times more. His base price was Rs 1 crore 50 lacks, but in the auction, the franchisee bought him by bidding Rs 13.25 crore. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals also bid to include him with them, but Hyderabad was successful in buying him. His bat is still calm in IPL. It is becoming difficult for him to score even 13 runs, while his bat was on fire before joining the team for IPL.

Tripathi and Markram won
Just before the IPL, Brook had explosive batting in the Test series against New Zealand and hit a century and 3 half-centuries in 2 Tests. Harry Brook's bat could not work against Punjab, but Rahul Tripathi and captain Aiden Markram together gave Hyderabad victory. Tripathi hit an unbeaten 74 off 48 balls. While Markram remained unbeaten after scoring 37 runs in 21 balls. Hyderabad registered its first win by 8 wickets.
