India may have wrapped up their England tour weeks ago, but the influence of the Shubman Gill-led side continues to make waves. The visitors fought back to level the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 2-2, clinching a thrilling six-wicket win in the final Test at The Oval. This marked India’s second consecutive drawn Test series in England.

Among the standout performers was vice-captain Rishabh Pant, who finished as India’s fourth-highest run-getter with 479 runs despite missing the decisive final Test due to a foot injury. While his counter-attacking centuries lit up the series, what truly captured fans’ attention was his now-famous backflip celebration after reaching triple figures.

That celebration appears to have found a fan in Harry Brook. The England batter, currently playing in The Hundred, was recently spotted pulling off a cartwheel during warm-up, prompting broadcasters to recall Pant’s signature move.

“It’s a fairly unique warm-up. We don’t see many cricketers doing cartwheels, do we? He always looks proud when he finishes it,” remarked Sky Sports commentators, turning to former England captain Eoin Morgan for his thoughts.

 

Eoin Morgan suggested Brook might be having a little fun—and perhaps even taking inspiration from Pant.“Maybe there was a bet involved. We’ve seen Rishabh Pant do it after scoring a hundred, which was a full flip. This could be a progression of that,” Morgan said with a smile.

Harry Brook had an eventful Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy himself, featuring in all five Tests for England and scoring 481 runs in nine innings. His campaign included two centuries—158 and 111—and two fifties, including a painful 99.

He started with that 99 at Headingley but followed it with a duck. In Birmingham, his 158 in a 303-run stand with Jamie Smith (184*) wasn’t enough to prevent a heavy defeat. His form dipped mid-series, but he ended strongly in the final Test from July 31 to August 4, producing solid contributions in both innings. From Pant’s audacious flips to Brook’s playful cartwheel, cricket’s flair for entertainment clearly isn’t confined to the runs and wickets alone.
