The right-handed batter started the Sri Lanka series with a brilliant century and has now followed it up with a quickfire 23 (8).Brook has emerged as a solid all-format player and has earned praise around the world. Former England captain turned analyst Nasser Hussain is the latest to join the bandwagon. The 58-year-old has labelled Brook as the best all-format batter in the world.Nasser Hussain Rates Harry Brook and Travis Head as Best All-format BattersSpeaking to Sky Sports, Nasser Hussain ignored Indian batters and called Harry Brook the best multi-format batter.“Harry Brook is the best multi-format player in the world right now. Maybe Australia's Travis Head would have an argument there with him. There are no players in the top 10 in all three formats -there's only one in the top 15, and that's Brook,“ remarked Hussain.As mentioned above, the England captain is having a brilliant year. The right-handed batter is the leading run-getter across formats. He has 1430 runs in 35 innings, averaging 47.66. Travis Head, on the other hand, has scored 395 runs in 12 innings, averaging 32.91.Harry Brook Shines Across Formats in 2026Out of the 1430 runs scored in 2026, Brook has 215 runs in ODIs, averaging 43. He has scored 558 runs in 12 innings in Tests, averaging 46.50. Further, in T20Is, Brook has scored 657 runs in 17 innings, averaging 50.33. Is Nasser Hussain Right To Ignore Indian Batters In The List?Nasser Hussain included only Harry Brook and Travis Head, ignoring any Indian batter. The fans were upset because the list didn’t feature the likes of Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, or Ishan Kishan.It is worth noting that unlike Brook, none of the above-mentioned Indian batters are active in all three formats. They are multi-format talents, but a lack of opportunity has been a key reason behind their exclusion from Hussain’s list.Also Read: Ben Stokes Goes On Epic Rant Dragging Pietersen After Harry Brook's TonTalking about Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, the right-handed batter leads India in Tests and ODIs, but is out of the scheme of things in the twenty-over format. Similarly, Ishan Kishan is the No.1 ranked T20I batter, solid in ODIs, but out of the Test team for years.Kishan recently did well in red-ball cricket in domestic cricket, but a lack of opportunities with the Indian team is why he can’t be called an all-format batter.Ben Stokes Heaps Massive Praise On BrookComing back to Ben Stokes, recently, Ben Stokes heaped massive praise on the 27-year-old and remarked that he is better than Kevin Pietersen.“I don’t even think the genius of KP could come close to what Harry has talent-wise. Is it really that hard to just sit back and admire these players for what they are, on the good days and the bad days, and stop berating them for doing things that we would never, ever, ever even think of doing because we simply aren’t on their level to think that way?” You are an absolute freak, Harry. You’re mint to watch,” Stokes remarked.Also Read: Gautam Gambhir's Management Demands BGT Test To Be Moved Out Of MS Dhoni's City
