"Badi badi baat karne me ye rank 1 hai" - Harry Brook mercilessly trolled on Twitter for his comments on Nathan Lyon ahead of 2023 Ashes

Harry Brook has, so far, amassed 818 runs in just seven Tests.

England middle order batter Harry Brook has revealed his plans against Australian ace spinner Nathan Lyon in the 2023 Ashes. The right-handed batter warned the off-spinner that they will try to dominate him throughout the five-match series.

The statement came weeks after Brook failed to deliver for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in his first-ever IPL season, barring a lone century against Kolkata Knight Riders. The 24-year-old amassed 190 runs in 11 games at a below-par strike rate of 123.38.

Speaking to reporters, as quoted by cricket.com.au, Brook said:

"If he bowls a good ball, then I'm going to respect it, but other than that, I'm going to try to take him on. He could take a lot of wickets, but hopefully, we're going to hit him for a lot of runs.”

He continued:

"I like to think I'm a player who can find gaps and hit different gaps really, and play all around the wicket. I'll see what field he has. I'm sure they'll start with everybody up and we'll go from there."

Fans on Twitter roasted Harry Brook for his statement ahead of the 2023 Ashes opener. One tweeted:

"Badi badi baat karne me ye rank 1 hai (He is No.1 when it comes to boasting)."
