Harry Brook’s historic triple century for England, his rise to Test No. 1, and leadership journey — a modern-day cricketing star redefining English batting.
Harry Brook: Calm Yet Destructive Batter
Harry Brook perfectly embodies whatever version of “Bazball” is trending at the moment. In 2024, he smashed a sensational 317 off just 310 balls in Multan — the second-fastest triple-century in Test history. This knock made him the first English player to score a triple-hundred since Graham Gooch’s iconic innings in 1990.
Rise in Pakistan: A Star is Born
Brook first caught attention during England’s 2022-23 tour of Pakistan, where his explosive form in all formats made him a fan favorite. With fearless stroke-play and the ability to dominate both pace and spin, he quickly became one of the most exciting young talents in the cricketing world.
Explosive Test Career Start
Before breaking into the Test squad, Brook amassed nearly 1000 runs at an astonishing average of 107.44 in the 2022 County Championship. His Test debut came against South Africa, followed by a series of scores in Pakistan and New Zealand — 153, 108, 111, 186 — totaling 809 runs in just 9 innings. No debutant in history had started better.

T20 World Cup Champion and IPL Star
Harry Brook was part of England’s T20 World Cup-winning squad in Australia in 2022. Then, in the 2023 IPL auction, he was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹13.25 crore ($1.6 million). Known for his power against fast bowlers and innovation in the death overs, Brook became a formidable T20 force.
Ashes 2023 Dip and Personal Break in 2024
Harry Brook had a quiet Ashes in 2023, scoring 363 runs with four fifties. He missed the India tour in early 2024 to be with his ailing grandmother. During that time, he focused on fitness and returned stronger. His 454-run partnership with Joe Root in Multan was the highest-ever for the 4th wicket or below in Tests.
World’s No. 1 Test Batter and England’s New Captain
He finished 2024 in style, scoring two centuries and a fifty in New Zealand, rising to No. 1 in the Test rankings. After England’s early exit in the 2025 Champions Trophy, Brook replaced Jos Buttler as the white-ball captain — showing he is now a leader, not just a player.

Leadership from the Beginning
Harry Brook’s leadership journey began early when he captained England Under-19 against India in 2017 and led the team in the 2018 U-19 World Cup. Though he was dropped for disciplinary reasons before the final game, his batting and leadership potential were always evident from a young age.
From Yorkshire Roots to International Stardom
A product of Burley-in-Wharfedale and Sedbergh School, Brook initially struggled to find consistency in Yorkshire colors. But his maiden first-class hundred in 2018 and a List A century in 2019 signaled his rise. He averaged 43 in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy, paving the way for his England breakthrough.
Conclusion: England’s Future in Safe Hands
Harry Brook’s journey proves how determination, talent, and timing can make a superstar. Whether in Tests or T20s, he delivers with calm confidence and brutal effectiveness. Now a captain and a world no. 1 batter, Brook symbolizes the bold new future of English cricket.
