Keeping in mind Harry Brook`s great game awareness, Kumar Sangakkara urged him to stick to his natural game. So far in 16 Test matches, Brook has accumulated 1,434 runs with an average of 59.75 and a strike rate of over 90. The right-hander also has five centuries and nine half-centuries to his name. His best score to date is 186 runs

Former Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara heaped praises on England`s batsman Harry Brook by saying that he loves the simplicity of his technique.
Coming in at 125/4 while aiming to overcome Sri Lanka`s first innings total of 236 runs, Brook displayed immense maturity, toning down a bit on his naturally aggressive game to amass 56 runs in 73 balls, with four boundaries. His runs came at a strike rate of just over 76, way below his career SR of over 90.
