IPL23 Match no 19 KKR vs SRH this match SRH won by 23 runs. Harry Brook (Player of the Match): "It was aspecial night and thankfully we go over the lineas well. It got a little bit tensed in the middle therebut its good to be on the winning side tonight.A lot of people say opening the batting in T20 isthe best time to bat. You only have 2 fielders outso but I'm happy to bat anywhere. Batted in theTests at 5 and quite probably batted at 5 in T20cricket also but Im happy to do whatever theteam needs.Unfortunately my 4 Test hundreds have to beabove this one but its definitely up there and thecrowd tonight was phenomenal. Those balls Ifaced against Chakaravarthy and the crowd wasgoing mental so its good to be playing in front ofsuch a great stadium and great fans tonight so Ienjoyed it.I was put under pressure by myself after a first I was put under pressure by myselfafter a firstfew games. Being on social media, people callingyou rubbish and you slightly start to doubtyourselfa little bit but I just went out there witha 'I don't care' mentality tonight and thankfully itcame off.There are a lot of Indian fans out there whoprobably gonna be saying 'well done' tonight butthey were slagging me offa few days ago so Imglad that I was able to shut them up to be honest.'Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain);:"Thanks, Harsha. It is great to win away fromhome. The total was not safe. It was a toughgame but hats off to the bowlers to help us getover the line. The field is slightly smaller and theoutfield is quick. A// the players gave their bestand played with intent. Yeah, suppose we got offto a great start and played with freedom. We batdeep and that's the result of the impact players.I think it worked quite well. We know that Harryis a great talent. He hits good cricket shots inthe powerplay and can take us deep. He is Mrreliable for sure. It was a tough wicketas a bowlerand kudos to him for keeping it tight. It's a greatbunch of fellows. There is an extra bit of banter.It's cricket at the endof the day, teaches you alesson.It's great to be the captain of the team andend up with a wvin."Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Sunrisers Hyderabad):"Ahh... First of all, to start, we wanted to pickearlywickets and that is the way we could have stoppedthem. When you are defending the totals, youneed to pick early wickets. In the final over of thepowerplay, they took on our bowler and scored afew quick runs which kept the game hanging inbalance. But we came back well to restrict them.Iam nota big fan of bowling slower balls butthat is what the game needs nowadays. I justtried to bowl according to the situation, accoruyto the batters how they reacted to my previousdeliveries, seeing the dimensions and puttingthem in the rightareas.Just go to him (on asking about Umran Malik'ssecond over after going for plenty in his first over).He is a fiery pace bowler and can be a game-changer. One shouldn't confuse him, you shouldallow the youngster to bowl good deliveries bybacking him.I think the pitch is a bad one for the bowlers,haha! Of course, it is an excellent one for thebatters! Harry Brook is a class apart. Good to see Nitish Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain):"Thank you sir, thank you!! We didn't bowlaccording to our plans. The total wasa bit toomuch. We could have bowled a bit better:. It is wellknown that it is notpractically possible to do everyday what Rinku did in the last match.We tried to take the match to the deep. I tried tohang around from one endand take the inningsdeep. Whenever I got the opportunity, I tried tohit the odd balls. Regarding home advantagewe are aware that the Eden Gardens pitchbehaves in such a way. We were prepared for 200 runs. If your main bowler goes for a lot of runs,you cannot do anything. There will be a lot ofmatches when this bowler will only win matchesfor me. It would've been more entertaining if wehad got the two points."11:14 PMIST: A magnificent century fromHarry Brook in the first innings followed by atremendous teamwork from the bowlers havegiven Sunrisers Hyderabad their second victoratthe season as they defeat Kolkata Knight Ridby 23 runs.
