Harry Brook has caught the world's attention with his aggressive yet calculated playing style. The star batter made his name after his match-winning performance in the 3rd ODI against Australia on Tuesday, where he scored an unbeaten 110 runs. Brook has quickly established himself as a modern-day cricketer. 

Ahead of the 2025 IPL auction, teams will surely be eyeing him for his ability to change the game. Although he made his IPL debut in 2023 for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Brook's stint in the tournament has been a mixed bag. In 2024, he was acquired by the Delhi Capitals but pulled out due to personal reasons. 

However, with his potential still intact, these are the IPL teams where Harry Brook could make a real impact.

 1. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)  

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have always sought top-order firepower, and Harry Brook fits their vision perfectly. At 25, Brook is at the prime of his career, and his explosive batting style would complement RCB's approach. 

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB's home ground, is a batter’s paradise with its flat pitch and short boundaries, and Brook’s aggressive stroke play would thrive here. Given RCB's struggles in finding a consistent batter barring Kohli, Brook could be a game-changer, bolstering the lineup with his ability to play both aggressive and anchored innings.

2. Mumbai Indians (MI)  

Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians seemed to strike balance between top order and middle order. Harry Brook could be the perfect addition to Mumbai’s lineup, filling the crucial No. 4 spot. 

Wankhede Stadium, known for its batter-friendly conditions, is another venue where Brook could excel. The fast-paced surface suits his batting style, making him a valuable asset in stabilising the middle overs and accelerating towards the end of an innings. 

3. Gujarat Titans (GT)  

Gujarat Titans have been searching for a reliable No. 4 since Hardik Pandya’s transfer to MI. Despite experimenting with various players, they have struggled to find the right fit. Harry Brook, with his sharp reflexes and adaptability, could be the answer to their problems. 

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which offers good pace, would play to Brook’s strengths as a batter. His ability to handle fast bowlers on such pitches could provide Gujarat Titans with the stability they need in the middle order.
