England’s Harry Brook became the first captain to score a century in a men’s T20 World Cup game, during his side’s Super Eight game against Pakistan in Pallekele on Tuesday.
Brook reached his hundred in just 50 balls, with a four against left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. With this, he became the third English batter to score a T20 World Cup hundred, after Alex Hales and Jos Buttler.
This is also the first century by an England captain in men’s T20Is.
