The Indian cricket team may have left England after a successful Test series, but their impact seemingly hasn’t. The Shubman Gill-led side ended the 5-match tour in a 2-2 draw following a thrilling 6-wicket win in the final match at The Oval. It was the second consecutive Test series on English soil drawn by India.
One of the star performers of the series was vice-captain Rishabh Pant, who missed out on the final and decisive Test due to a foot injury but returned with 479 runs as the fourth-highest scorer for India. More than his flamboyant batting, what amused the spectators was his backflip celebration after scoring centuries.
Pant’s celebration seems to have inspired Harry Brook massively as the English batter was recently spotted trying the act in The Hundred. The cartwheel performed by Brook prompted the broadcasters to talk about it on air.
“One thing that he does do quite consistently is how he works through his warm-up. It’s a fairly unique one. We don’t see many cricketers doing cartwheels, do we? He always looks quite proud of himself as well when he finishes it," said the Sky Sports hosts, asking former captain Eoin Morgan.
In response, Morgan stated, “He’s trying to prove a point there. They might have even had a bet that you can or can’t do it. You know, it’s a new thing. We’ve seen Rishabh Pant do it for his hundred in the celebration needed a full frontal flip. So maybe this is just a progression."
Brook’s performance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy
Harry Brook featured in all five Tests for England in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, scoring 481 runs in nine innings with two centuries (158, 111) and two fifties (99, 53).
He began with 99 at Headingley but made a duck in the second innings. In the second Test at Birmingham, his 158 and a 303-run stand with Jamie Smith (184*) couldn’t prevent a 336-run defeat. Brook struggled in the next two Tests with scores of 11, 23, and 3.
However, he finished strongly in the final Test from July 31 to August 4, delivering solid performances in both innings.
