Harry Brook produced a sensational batting performance to create history in men’s ODI cricket, smashing a double century off just 114 balls against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi on Thursday, October 22, 2026.
The England captain finished with a breathtaking 202 off 116 deliveries, including 21 fours and 10 sixes, powering England to a massive 429/4 in 50 overs.
Brook’s 114-ball double century made him the fastest batter to reach the 200-run mark in men’s ODIs, surpassing India’s Shubman Gill, who had achieved the milestone in 117 balls against the West Indies in Guwahati earlier in 2026.
