Harry Brook's base price was Rs 2 crores and Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore were the first ones to open the bidding. It was during the 5.25 crore-mark when SunRisers Hyderabad entered the race. Having being involved in a bidding war with Rajasthan Royals until the end, Hyderabad stood winners in the race to sign Harry Brook.

The right-handed batter has been in incredible form of late. On his first away tour to Pakistan, Brook not only scored hundreds in all three Tests, he also inspired his team to clean sweep Pakistan on their home turf for the first time. Courtesy his excellent batting show, he was also awarded the player of the series. Before that, he was among the star performers for the team on their T20 leg to Pakistan as well. Not only this, Brook was also part of England's T20 World Cup winning campaign in Australia.
Having achieved so much in so less time goes onto the potential of this young batter. Meanwhile, SunRisers Hyderabad also picked up Mayank Agrawal (Rs 8.25 crores), Adil Rashid (Rs 2 crores) among others on the day of mini-auction.
