Harry Brook plays an audacious Rishabh Pant-like reverse scoop for 4 off Ravindra Jadeja in ENG vs IND 2025 1st Test [Watch]

England batter Harry Brook played an audacious Rishabh Pant-like reverse scoop on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test at Headingley in Leeds on Sunday, June 22. The right-handed batter nailed the scoop off Ravindra Jadeja for a boundary.

The audacious shot came in the 79th over of England’s first innings. Jadeja bowled a tossed-up delivery around off, and Brook lapped it towards fine leg, falling on the ground during the process. Pant, the crowd, and the commentators were impressed with the shotmaking.
