His 202 against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi is also the fastest-ever double hundred in ODI history, beating Shubman Gill\u2019s 117 achieved just a few weeks ago against West Indies. He reached the mark off 114 balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brook showed no mercy to the Sri Lankan attack. He smashed 21 fours and 10 sixes as England plundered 156 runs in the final 10 overs to reach 429\/4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The England captain walked in at 85\/2 after 16 overs. He combined with Joe Root (69 off 66 balls) for 159 runs in 21.1 overs, setting the scene for a huge finish. Even with that platform \u2013 and the absence of a specialist fifth bowler for Sri Lanka \u2013 not even the most ardent of England fans could have imagined what would follow.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Harry Brook hits the highest individual score for England in ODIs: 202 against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brook went past Ben Stokes\u2019 record of 182, achieved against New Zealand in 2023. The skipper has also enhanced his reputation as the world\u2019s best all-format batter, with his ODI double hundred sitting alongside a Test triple hundred and T20I hundred. Chris Gayle is the only other player to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter where the Sri Lankans bowled, Brook had the answer. He showed off his array of shots all round the wicket, lapping the bowlers at will or bludgeoning them either side of the wicket. Aptly, he brought up the double century with a lap fine past the keeper, sparking a jubilant reaction from his batting partner Will Jacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacks was also destructive, hitting an unbeaten 66 off 30 balls. He and brook smashed 185 off 77 balls to take England to a mammoth 429\/4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More to come\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cricblog.net\/news-harry-brook-smashes-202-englands-highest-individual-score-in-odis\/\">Harry Brook smashes 202, England\u2019s highest individual score in ODIs<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cricblog.net\/\">CricBlog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Updated on 1 minute ago by Charbel Coorey Harry Brook has set a new record, becoming the first England batter to hit a double century in One Day Internationals (ODIs).
