Did SunRisers Hyderabad go Overboard on Harry Brook?

Did SRH Overspent of England Opener Harry Brook

TATA IPL 2023 Mini-auction: Many Experts believed that SRH went a little too much on Harry, from the like of David Hussey who said that I believed SRH probably paid too much.

Let us look at details on Did SRH Overspent on Harry Brook?

Although a good purchase, did they go overboard? I hope they don’t pass up anyone in the back end, such as a capable home spinner like M Ashwin or Markande.
