Before Ashes 2025-26, Greg Chappell compared the current England batsman to Sachin Tendulkar.
Preparations for The Ashes 2025-26 have received massive publicity after the former Australian captain’s extraordinary assessment greg chappellWho kept England’s destructive middle-order batsman harry brook By comparing him to a young man in the company of greats Sachin Tendulkar,
Such high praise from a respected rival is arguably the highest level of support a visiting player can receive, showing that the Australian giants truly see the 26-year-old as a generational talent capable of dominating world cricket. Comparisons focus not only on Brook’s statistical dominance, but also on the technical precision and minimalism of his strokeplay, setting the stage for his highly anticipated first tour of Australia, where many previous English stars have faltered.
After watching Brook on television, Greg Chappell made a sensational comparison and immediately declared him the best English player of all time. “Interested in watching live” During the Ashes. Chappell’s analysis shed light on the technical simplicity underpinning Brook’s prolific run-scoring, noting that his technique mirrored Tendulkar’s early talent.
Chappell specifically said: “I have seen him bat on television and he reminds me a lot of Sachin Tendulkar in the early stages of his career.”
Chappell then elaborated on the specific technical features that justified the comparison: “Lots of pace early on, takes angles well and can score on most balls – there aren’t too many balls he can’t score on.” This ability to generate power and consistently score runs on good length balls with minimal forethought is the foundation of his greatness.
Historic Australian Test for England in Ashes 2025-26
Brook brings to Australian shores not only loads of Tendulkar comparisons, but also a phenomenal, devastating record that establishes him as one of the most exciting batsmen in the world. He has already scored 2,820 runs in 30 Test matches at an impressive average 57.55Which also includes 10 centuries. His extremely attacking style, based on a superb strike-rate in the 80s, constantly puts pressure on the opposition bowlers and places him in the upper echelon of modern attacking batsmen in Test cricket, a style highlighted by his second-fastest Test triple century against Australia. Pakistan Exactly one year ago.
This proven record would be severely tested on their inaugural Ashes tour, a challenge which Chappell accepted by warning:
“Australia has historically been a test for England’s batsmen to adapt to for the first time and it will be interesting to see how they adapt.”
The pressure is further heightened by history: Root has never scored a Test century in Australia, and among the current team, only captain Stokes has reached the three-figure milestone. This historical context raises huge expectations for Brook to not only adapt but succeed in his first attempt at the ultimate challenge in Test cricket starting on November 21 in Perth.
