Former England quick Steven Finn declared Brook was the best all-format batter in men’s cricket after his latest knock and the ICC Men’s Player Rankings confirm that claim as the right-hander is the only player that sits inside the top 16 spots in all three of the Test, ODI and T20I batting rankings.
While that assertion can surely be debated over time, former England captain Ben Stokes has no doubt that Brook’s name belongs right at the top when discussing the best modern day players and even suggested he had the edge over Pietersen when comparing the two stars.
“I don’t even think the genius of KP could come close to what Harry Brook has talent-wise,” Stokes posted on X.
“Is it really that hard to just sit back and admire these players for what they are, on the good days and the bad days, and stop berating them for doing things that we would never, ever, ever even think of doing because we simply aren’t on their level to think that way?
“You are an absolute freak, Harry.
“You’re mint to watch.”
