Harry Brook is facing massive flak after England’s defeat against India in the fourth T20I of the series. The Men in Blue registered a 15-run win over the visitors to clinch the series 3-1, with one match left in Mumbai. England started aggressively, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett adding 62 runs in 6 overs.

However, the fall of wickets but the English team on the back foot. The situation was brought under control by Harry Brook, who scored 51 runs off 26 balls, laced with 5 fours and 2 sixes.

He was looking set to take England home but played an unnecessary shot to give his wicket to Varun Chakravarthy. The Indian spinner added another scalp in the 15th over when he dismissed Brydon Carse as England lost the momentum and couldn’t recover.

Kevin Pietersen was miffed with the young star. “I have issues with his finishing skills. Instead of his fifty, we are taking about his dismissal. He has all the time in the world to win this game for England. We talk about Husseys because of their abilities to close out the games in their teams’ favour. You will only become a big player if you win matches for your country,” Kevin Pietersen said on Star Sports.

Parthiv Patel also held Brook responsible for England’s loss. “It was a lack of game awareness by Harry Brook. Varun had just six balls left and Brook could have easily negotiated those but his wicket brought another wicket,” Parthiv Patel said.
