As he is in Test matches and it is great to watch.” Former India pacer Zaheer Khan on JioCinema said: “Brook played shots all around the park. He was hitting.
In front of the wicket, behind the wicket, on the offside and on the on-side. That made things difficult for bowlers. It will be interesting to see how.
He bats against other teams. They will try to use more spinners against him. But he showed what he can do on his good days.” Former India cricketer.

Even in that a caught & bowled chance was missed. I also think KKR missed a trick. When you have so many spinners, use them from the first over.”
