In the T20 World Cup 2026 match against Pakistan, England skipper Harry Brook played a knock of 100 runs off 51 deliveries, which was laced with 10 boundaries and four maximums (Pic: X/@ICC)

With this, he became the first captain to smash a century in the tournament's history (Pic: X/@ICC)

This is also the joint-second-fastest century in the T20 WC. This 50-ball ton is level with West Indies legend Chris Gayle's 50-ball effort against South Africa in the inaugural T20 World Cup (Pic: X/@ICC)

With this century, England has found its third all-format centurion as Brook joins legendary Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan in the elite list of England batters to have cracked a century in Tests, ODIs and T20Is alike (Pic: X/@ICC)

Brook's century is the fourth century in T20 World Cup chases, with England's Alex Hales holding the highest score of an unbeaten 116 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014 while chasing 190 runs, followed by 100 each by Gayle (against England in 2016 while chasing 183), Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka (against Australia in this year's tournament chasing 182) and Brook (Pic: X/@englandcricket)

The 27-year-old cricketer is also the third England batsman, after Alex Hales and Jos Buttler, to register a ton in the T20 World Cup (Pic: X/@englandcricket)
