"He reminds me very much of Sachin Tendulkar": Australian great compares Harry Brook to Sachin Tendulkar
As the anticipation builds for the 2025-26 Ashes, former Australian great Greg Chappell has made a bold statement by likening England's rising batting sensation Harry Brook to Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Chappell praised Brook's calm demeanour and his ability to pick off angles and his knack for scoring off a wide variety of deliveries. Chappell believes that Brook's approach mirrors Tendulkar's own early technique.
"For me, Harry Brook is the interesting one. I have seen a bit of him on television. I would like to see him live. He looks like a really good player. His record suggests that he is a good player. You know, he is averaging 62 in Test cricket so far," Chappell said, as quoted by cricket.com.au.
"That's a pretty impressive record. I have watched him bat, as I say, on television. He reminds me very much of Sachin Tendulkar, in Sachin's early part of his career. You know, very minimal movement early on, picks off the angles really well, can score off most deliveries. There are not many deliveries that he can't score off. Australia has historically been a test for England batsmen to adapt the first time around and how he adapts will be interesting to watch," he added.
Since his Test debut in 2022, Brook has been in supreme form, having scored 2820 runs with an average of 57.55. He has fired 10 Test centuries. He also scored a triple century against Pakistan in Multan last year.
