Their higher scoring rate and strike-rate point towards a consistently more aggressive batting approach throughout.In addition, the bowlers have complemented England’s aggressive batting as well, with a better bowling average of 21.06 compared to India’s 22.25. England’s 14.7 bowling strike-rate is also superior to India’s 15.8, helping them make crucial breakthroughs and decide matches.Have England Been Better Than India In T20Is Since Harry Brook Took Over As Captain?India’s back-to-back T20 World Cup titles remain the biggest evidence of their recent success in T20Is. However, the numbers since Harry Brook became England's T20I captain paint a different picture.Moreover, Brook’s England came extremely close to ending India’s 2026 T20 World Cup campaign in the semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium. India posted 253/7, but England pushed the chase to 246/7, falling just seven runs short.So, while India’s trophy cabinet remains the stronger measure of their recent tournament success, England’s record under Brook shows how much the balance has shifted in regular T20Is. Their No.1 ranking in T20Is further reflects that shift and adds weight to England’s impressive run under Brook.Also Read: All Records Made By Shafali Verma With 1st Hundred In Women's Asian Games 2026 Semifinal
