Brook's maiden double century also surpassed India's Shubman Gill's maiden ODI double century, which was previously the fastest 200 in the format. The England captain achieved this feat in Rawalpindi against Sri Lanka, setting a new England highest individual ODI score. Brook became only the second player, after Chris Gayle, to score a Test triple century, an ODI double ton, and a T20 hundred.
