Whenever we talk about the greatest batsmen in Test cricket, the names of two batsmen come to the forefront - Sir Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar. The great Australian batsman has a record average of 99.94, while Sachin has the highest number of runs and centuries. (Photo: Getty and AFP)
It is every batsman's dream to reach around them but not everyone is successful in it.
England's young batsman Harry Brook is engaged in a similar effort, where in one case he has left behind legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Virat Kohli. (Photo: PTI)
This feat of Brook was seen in the first test match against New Zealand, where this batsman played a memorable inning of 171 runs in the first innings of the match.

With this innings, Brook's average on foreign soil has become 89.40 in 15 innings of 9 Tests.
Among batsmen who have played at least 5 or more Tests on foreign soil, Brook is now behind only Bradman, who had scored 2674 runs in 30 innings of 19 Tests at an astonishing average of 102.84. (Photo: PTI)
That means Brook has reached second place in terms of highest test batting average abroad.
So far he has scored 1341 runs in 15 innings, which includes 6 centuries. Whereas Sachin has 8705 runs in his name in 176 innings at an average of 54.74. Whereas Virat Kohli's average is only 43.41 in 112 innings. (Photo: PTI)
