Harry Brook Achieves Milestone with Century in T20I Against Sri Lanka

Brook Joins Exclusive All-Format Century Club

Harry Brook, the captain of England's white-ball team, has been on a remarkable streak at the number three position. He has now joined Jos Buttler as the second player from England to score centuries in all formats of the game. During the first T20I against Sri Lanka, Brook delivered an impressive performance, scoring an unbeaten 114 runs off just 49 balls, which included 10 fours and six sixes, achieving a strike rate of 232.65.

Brook's Century Stats

With two centuries in T20Is, alongside 10 in Tests and three in ODIs, Brook becomes the second English player, after Buttler, to have multiple centuries across all international formats. Buttler's record includes two centuries in both Tests and T20Is, along with 11 in ODIs.

Global All-Format Centurions

Other notable players who have achieved multiple centuries across all formats include: Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul from India, Babar Azam from Pakistan, Chris Gayle from the West Indies, Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill from New Zealand, and Quinton de Kock from South Africa.

Brook's Stellar Performance at Number Three

In his eight innings at this position in T20Is, he has amassed 476 runs at an impressive average of 95.20 and a strike rate of 200.84, including two centuries and two fifties.

Overall T20I Performance

Across 69 T20I matches for England, Brook has accumulated 1,646 runs in 60 innings, maintaining an average of 36.57 and a strike rate of 164.10, with two centuries and eight fifties.
