Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja said something really interesting about Harry Brook yesterday. He thinks the English batsman plays exactly like Rishabh Pant from India. Both players love hitting the ball hard and taking big risks.
Brook scored 111 runs and saved England from getting bowled out cheaply. His team was struggling at 106 for 3 when he came. The young batsman turned everything around with his fearless batting style.
Joe Root also played well and made 105 runs alongside Brook. Together they scored 195 runs for the fourth wicket partnership. This amazing stand helped England get back into the match.
Jadeja watched Brook bat and immediately thought about Pant’s similar approach. Both cricketers don’t score big runs every single match played. But when they do well, they completely change the game.
“Such players might not score runs every time, but when they do, they leave a massive impact. He reminded me of Rishabh Pant today. There was one thing common between him and Rishabh Pant — both are impactful, and their bats go flying. Their styles are similar, so their mistakes and impact will also look similar,” Ajay Jadeja said.
Brook’s Explosive Batting Style
Brook showed his crazy hitting power by scoring 27 runs quickly in the middle of his inning. He needed just eight balls to get those runs easily. The English crowd went absolutely wild watching his powerful shots everywhere.

His century came in only 91 balls, which amazed everyone present. Brook hit boundaries all around the cricket ground with confidence. Even experienced Indian bowlers couldn’t stop his attacking batting approach.
Something funny happened when Brook’s bat flew out of his hands. He was trying to hit another big shot forcefully. This shows how hard he swings at every ball fearlessly.
Why These Players Matter
Jadeja believes cricket needs players like Brook and Pant desperately now. They bring excitement and unpredictability to boring cricket matches often. Their aggressive style makes fans jump from their seats.
“Brook remains the same. He doesn’t change his game. Washington Sundar left him standing halfway down the pitch in the last match. This is the thing with these players. They might not be as consistent as Joe Root every day, but a team needs them too. In difficult circumstances, only mavericks come in handy,” he said.
These maverick batsmen can change losing situations into winning ones quickly. When their team faces trouble, they fight back harder. Brook proved this perfectly during England’s difficult batting position.
