Harry Brook's 95* Shatters England T20I Record
England captain becomes first English batter to amass over 200 runs in a home T20I bilateral series.
Harry Brook blazed an unbeaten 95 off 45 balls in the fifth T20I against India at Southampton, hammering four boundaries and eight sixes. His 233-run stand with Jos Buttler powered England to a mammoth total.
The 27-year-old achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first England cricketer to score more than 200 runs in a T20I series on home soil. He also surpassed Nicholas Pooran's record for the most runs in a T20I series against India, finishing with 229 runs at an average of 114.50 and a strike rate of 214.01.
Brook's knock followed his 79* off 35 balls in the previous match, highlighting his dominant form throughout the series. Despite an early wicket, England capitalized on Brook and Buttler's partnership to post a daunting 257.
