IPl Auction 2023: Is Brook overpaid?

I’m not unsurprised by the amount of money he went for but I think SRH spent a lot of money on a similar player like Aiden Markram already on the list. It’s a good buy, but have they overspent? Hope they aren’t going to miss out on anybody in the backend like a good domestic spinner like M Ashwin or Markande.”

IPL Auction 2023: SRH’s Big Buys

Simon Katich spoke on Sunrisers Hyderabad buying Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal. “Well, definitely, Harry Brooks. Obviously, he’s a fantastic young player. He’s had a fantastic 2022 across all formats. He’s going to be a very, very big player. He’s used to coming-in in all formats and in the IPL, look, it’s a big price to pay for a young man. But obviously, SRH have done their homework and feel that he will fit in. I think Mayank Agarwal is a very good buy for them, he’s a very good player of spin, and he’s obviously highly experienced. So, I think they got him cheaper than what I thought before the auction started.”
