Currently, England and India are playing a five-match T20I series in India. Harry Brook is the deputy captain of the 20-over team captained by Jos Buttler. After losing the first two games by seven and two wickets, respectively, England is already behind in the series as of Sunday, January 26.
Kevin Pietersen, a former English cricket player, recently answered a question on about the current favorite cricket player among internet users.
Harry Brook is his favorite cricket player, according to Pietersen
who is well-known on and off the field for his skill and clever wit. However, Pietersen’s tweet, which has been making the rounds on social media, has a humorous and lighthearted tone.

In the first T20I in Kolkata, the explosive hitter recently said that the fog was the reason why the English batters were unable to bat against spin. Since the Indian cricket community believed that Brook was attempting to hide his and the team’s weaknesses against the Indian spinners, his comments did not sit well with them.
Varun Chakravarthy’s enigmatic spinning deliveries tore through Brook’s defense on both occasions during this journey to India so far. A number of Indian cricket fans came up and made fun of Brook’s remarks following the series opener after he was bowled out by a ripper from Chakravarthy yesterday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. These included former Indian cricketing greats Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri.
With India ahead 2-0, England has all to do.
Prior to the series, few people anticipated that England would lose to India the way they had in the previous two games. They had a lot more energetic showing in yesterday’s fiercely contested match, but they still have a long way to go if they want to salvage anything from this series.
The locations for the upcoming three Twenty20 Internationals are Rajkot, Pune, and Mumbai. After a three-match series between the two teams, the format switches to One-Day Internationals (ODIs). After that, they will travel to Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates for the next Champions Trophy.
