IPL 2023: Top 5 buys who couldn't justify their price tags

4. Harry Brook (13.25 Cr)

England's young batting sensation Harry Brook was the center of attraction ever since he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH got Harry Brook or INR 13.25 CR by beating Rajasthan Royals at the auction table. Since his Test debut, he has taken world cricket by storm. Former legends of the game speak highly of him and regard him as someone who'll dominate in the years to come. 

Brook was coming off from a fabulous PSL and a Pakistan tour. He was expected to perform the same in this cash-rich league. But in his debut season, he hugely disappointed his fans. In the 11 matches that he played, he contributed 190 runs only with a not-so-impressive SR of 123.38. Among these 190 runs, 100 runs came in one innings only against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. 

With his playing approach, it seemed there was a lot to work on his batting approach. He's supremely strong against pace, but he struggles against spin bowling. He hardly moves his feet and gets stuck in his crease. Bowlers in the IPL have found this weakness to get the better of them every time.
