PAK vs ENG 2022: Harry Brook can be a successful all-format player like Virat Kohli, says Ben Stokes

England’s captain Ben Stokes feels Harry Brook has the credentials to be a successful all-format like Virat Kohli. Brook has definitely shown the skills to go a long way in his career and he has gotten off to an amazing start to his Test career.

The youngster has scored 369 runs in three Test matches at an average of 73.8 and a strike rate of 99.46. The 23-year-old from Yorkshire has scored two centuries and one fifty in his young Test match career.

Brook scored a match-winning knock of 108 runs in the second innings of the second Test match against Pakistan at Multan to help his team get a par lead of 354 runs. The right-hander batted at his best and admitted that he learned from his first innings mistake after he was dismissed cheaply for nine runs.

“He’s a player whose technique is suited to all three formats, he wants to always look to be putting pressure back onto the opposition, and he’s won another game for England,” Stokes was quoted as saying to Sky Sports.

“After the summer he had last year, getting all the big-ups before he made his debut at the back end of the summer, to come here and put in that kind of performance again was just phenomenal,” he stated.

Stokes backed Brook to be successful in all the conditions across the globe for England.

“He’s one of those rare players that you look across all formats and you can just see him being successful everywhere. It’s a massive shout, but Virat Kohli is one of those guys where his technique is just so simple and works everywhere. The pressure that he puts back onto opposition is exactly what we’re about,” Stokes added.

Brook has been in amazing form and he would want to continue the good show in the third Test match against Pakistan.

England has taken an impregnable lead of 2-0 in the series after winning the second game by 26 runs. The third Test match will be played at the National Stadium, Karachi from December 17.
