England batter Harry Brook was signed by Delhi Capitals for Rs. 4 crore at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday.

Brook was signed for Rs 13.25 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad last year but was released after a disappointing campaign.

Brook, 24, made a superb start in international cricket, playing starring roles in Test cricket and winning the T20 World Cup in November 2022.

But he struggled in the 50-over World Cup in October and November, averaging 28.16 in England’s group-stage exit.

The right-handed batter was in the headlines recently after he scored a seven-ball 31 against the West Indies, to help England to a win in a stiff chase.
