First Time In 145 Years! Harry Brook Surpasses Legends To Claim Historic Feat

Harry Brook has emerged as a consistent performer for England in the past year and the right-hander continued to impress everyone with a brilliant century on Day 1 of the second Test against New Zealand. Brook, who was bought by Sunrisers Hyderbad for Rs 13.25 crore, was unbeaten on 184 off 169 deliveries. Thanks to this innings, the England youngster became the first batsman in history to score 800 runs after just 9 Test innings. Previously, the record for most runs after 9 Test innings belonged to India's Vinod Kambli (798) but Brook took his tally to 807 on Friday. He also went past legends like Herbert Sutcliffe (780 runs in nine innings), Sunil Gavaskar (778 runs in nine innings) and Everton Weekes (777 runs in nine innings) to add a massive milestone to his name.
