When we talk about strike rate in Test cricket history, the names of batsmen like Virender Sehwag and David Warner come to mind first. When we talk about batting average in Test cricket, it is compared with Don Bradman because there is no other standard before him. We are also seeing the era of Fab Four comprising Root, Smith, Williamson and Virat. But, the way Harry Brook has presented his game to the world in the longest format of cricket, it would not be wrong to say that he can be the new superstar of Test cricket.

Ahead of Sehwag in strike rate, behind only Bradman in average

Harry Brooke.

The new superstar of Test cricket. This is because whether it is his strike rate or batting average, he has been seen to be successful on both parameters. His strike rate is better than Virender Sehwag, which shows his aggression in red ball cricket. At the same time, after playing more than 20 Test innings, he is standing at such a position in terms of batting average that only Sir Don Bradman can be seen standing ahead of him.

Not a batsman, but the new superstar of Test!

25-year-old England batsman Harry Brook has scored 1376 runs in 23 innings of 14 Tests played so far.

During this time, he has scored 5 centuries and 8 half-centuries. His average is 62.54 while his strike rate is 90.70.

Now if we compare Brook's strike rate with Sehwag's strike rate in his Test career, he appears to be ahead. Brook's strike rate is 90.70 while Sehwag's strike rate is 82.23 after playing 104 Tests.
