There are talents, whose abilities simply know no bounds. They may seem in a reckless mood at times or in a rush at, but are really the ones who are cut out to go the long distance or a long way as we
say. This is the feeling one got at times when one looked at Kevin Pietersen, the great batting legend of England. Now, truth be told, this is the feeling that you see of Harry Brook.
The charismatic England Captain of the white ball set up who already has a test century against his name at such a young age, climbed his way to an instrumental knock in the game’s shortest format just hours ago.
In scoring a dominant, very whirlwind and seemingly in a real rush, Brook carved and smashed his way to a brilliant 114 run knock Sri Lanka that came off just 49 odd deliveries.

He was brilliant in constructing a crushing win over a visibly hapless looking Sri Lankan side as he smashed 10 fours and not to forget, 6 ace sixes.
His ability to time the ball and find gaps on either side of the wicket insured that batting momentum always belong to England from the word go.
No one might say that it is easy to score big runs in the smallest format of the game nowadays, especially because it tends to lean towards the batters, but then how often do we see an unbeaten century which was the case with the lanky right hander?
In his 114 run knock, Harry Brook remained much like his latest century: undefeated and seemingly indefatigable and didn’t even score as an opener. He came in at 3, his usual batting position.
The likes of Chamera, Wellalage, and even Theekshana looked far less impressive in front of the dominant three figure score than they usually do!
This was sheer batting masterclass from a man who’s perhaps rightly dubbed among the best in the game today. A smooth operator with the cricket bat much like a Gill, you’d reckon?
