After a wonderful century in the first innings against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) have substituted Harry Brook and in his place, Washington Sundar has been called in to bowl.

Brook broke the shackles as his quality hitting was enough to post a massive total of 228 on the board. Previously, he wasn't able to redeem himself but in this game, his best came out as every part of the ground was explored by the young English talent.

Sundar, who is an off-spinning all-rounder will have a crucial role to play with the ball as he has to accompany Mayank Markande in the spin department.

The innings of Brook holds greater significance because of the fact that he was regarded as one of the most gifted talents in recent era.

SRH are defending 229, and at the time of publishing, they have lost three wickets for 34 runs after the end of five overs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine have already been sent back to the pavilion. Skipper Nitish Rana and Narayan Jagadeesan are still in the middle.

On the bowling front, Marco Jansen has picked up two wickets in his two overs giving away just nine runs.
