Greg Chappell compares Harry Brook’s performances, approach with Sachin Tendulkar

Harry Brook has been a revelation right since breaking into the English setup in 2022. The proactive middle-order batter has truly been an all-format player up until now. So far, he has performed quite consistently in all formats and in particular, the longest one. In the 24 Tests (40 innings) he has played up until now, he averages 58.48 with 10 fifties and eight half-centuries.

Former Australian cricketer, Greg Chappell, was quick to draw comparisons between Brook and the Indian batting maestro, Sachin Tendulkar.

“Harry Brook, a batting sensation whose performances and approach I compare to the great Sachin Tendulkar. Remarkably, Brook’s early career stats suggest he might even have outpaced the Indian maestro in terms of impact at the same stage,” wrote Chappell in his column for The Sydney Morning Herald.

Chappell further expanded on Brook’s straightforward yet efficient technique which helped him to make the most out of any kind of delivery bowled to him. Chappell also drew parallels to Brook’s resembling technique in comparison to Tendulkar.

“His stability and minimalistic technique allow him to read the angles of the bowler and adjust his strokes with precision. The result? An extraordinary ability to score from most deliveries, whether they’re pitched full, short, or on an awkward length. Tendulkar’s early brilliance lay in his ability to use the bowler’s pace to his advantage, scoring heavily on both sides of the wicket. Brook, though a bigger and more powerful player physically, has a strikingly similar ability to manipulate the field with wristy flicks, crunching drives, and punishing backfoot shots,” added Chappell.

A player around whom their future could be built: Chappell

The former Australian top-order batter concluded by predicting a shining path ahead for Brook.

“For England, he’s not just a bright prospect; he’s a player around whom their future could be built,” noted Chappell.

Brook’s next assignments for England would be the white-ball series against India, followed up by the ninth edition of the Champions Trophy. There are ample opportunities lying ahead for him to further strengthen his numbers in the limited-overs modes.
