"Harry Brook, a batting sensation whose performances and approach I compare to the great Sachin Tendulkar. Remarkably, Brook’s early career stats suggest he might even have outpaced the Indian maestro in terms of impact at the same stage," Chappell wrote in his column.
"At just 25, Brook has rapidly become one of the most talked-about cricketers in the world. He boasts a simple but devastatingly effective batting method. Much like Tendulkar in his early years, Brook doesn’t move excessively in the crease before the ball is delivered," Chappell explained.
"Simplicity often breeds greatness" - Greg Chappell
Greg Chappell further compared Sachin Tendulkar and Harry Brook in their first 15 Tests. He also feels that Brook has a more powerful body structure but both the batters had the ability to manipulate the fields and play different shots to similar deliveries.
Comparing the stats of both players, Chappell claimed that Brook is already ahead of Tendulkar. However, it must be noted that Tendulkar faced a fearsome bowling attack during his times under difficult batting conditions while Brook has batted mostly on flat tracks.
"To be fair, Sachin was still a teenager while Brook is in his mid-20s. Brook’s ability to combine aggression with consistency makes him a nightmare for bowlers because, much like Tendulkar, he’s incredibly hard to contain," he added.
Harry Brook's Test numbers
On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar had an incredible Test career and is still regarded as the best player to have played the game. Tendulkar started his career while batting at No. 6 and 7. However, he was moved to No. 4 after producing consistent performances with the bat.
