Harry Brook Shatters Virat Kohli's Record, Surpasses MS Dhoni To Achieve Sensational Feat

England cricket team batter Harry Brook shattered Virat Kohli's record to achieve a sensational feat during the fifth ODI encounter against Australia on Sunday. Brook, who was appointed captain for the ODI series in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler, has been enjoying a brilliant run of form. The youngster slammed his maiden century in the third ODI to guide his team to victory and he followed it up with a gritty half-century. On Sunday, he slammed 72 off just 57 deliveries to take his tally of runs in the series to 312. That is now the highest runs scored by a captain in a bilateral series against Australia as Brook broke the record that Kohli achieved back in 2019. Ex-India captain MS Dhoni holds the third position in the list with 285 runs that he scored against Australia in 2009.

Travis Head produced  his best bowling figures in one-day internationals as Australia fought back to dismiss England for 309 in the series decider at Bristol on Sunday following a hundred by Ben Duckett.

With the five-match contest level at 2-2, England were set for a huge total at 202-2 in the 25th over as Duckett (107) and skipper Harry Brook (72) targeted the short straight boundaries during a century stand.

But slow bowling proved England's undoing as they lost their last eight wickets for 107 runs.

Part-time spinner Head took 4-28, with wicketkeeper Josh Inglis completing a fine stumping and holding two good catches up to the stumps.

But Adil Rashid (36) struck successive boundaries off ODI debutant left-arm spinner Cooper Connolly to take England past 300 before he was last man out when caught in the deep off Head.

England are looking to complete a comeback series victory against the world champions after falling 2-0 behind.
