Other than scoring a remarkable century against the Kolkata Knight Riders earlier in the season, England’s premier batsman, Harry Brook, has not contributed much to the ongoing IPL 2023.
Due to the fact that the 24-year-old has scored only 163 runs at a strike rate of 121.64 in nine games thus far, former Australia international Brett Lee believes that the Sunrisers Hyderabad team management should bench him for a few games to help him understand things better.
Notably, in SRH’s last match against KKR on May 4, Brook did not score a run as the Aiden Markram-led team fell by five runs. The valiant efforts of Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram were in vain, as KKR conceded nine runs in the final over. Thus, Lee believes that SRH is currently losing a position due to Brook’s lack of contribution, as the cricketer is not in the proper mental state.
“He is undoubtedly an elite athlete. He has high test scores. He also has one hundred here. However, I believe SRH is losing ground. Perhaps they will substitute someone else for Harry Brook for a few games. No offense to Harry Brook, but he is a pistol. “However, he is not in the proper frame of mind,” Lee told JioCinema.
As Harry Brook replacement, Robin Uthappa bats for Glenn Phillips instead of
Former India international Robin Uthappa believes that New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Glenn Phillips can replace Harry Brook in the SRH playing eleven. Uthappa believes that Brook will improve with experience, but since it’s not working at all, SRH should consider batting Phillips at number six.
“Probably someone other than Harry Brook at No. 6.” He is experiencing a fairly frugal run. Glenn Phillips can bat in the center of the order. If it’s not working, it’s not working; you have to give it enough chances, and if it’s not succeeding, it’s not succeeding.
“Since scoring a hundred, he has endured a difficult time. Over time, he will get better at performing in India. He will come up with a solution. “He is too good a batter not to find a solution,” said the 37-year-old.
