Harry Brook praised Brendon McCullum, England's white-ball head coach, after securing a 27-run victory over India at Lord’s, marking the team's first ODI series win against India since 2018. This success followed a remarkable 4-0 T20 series victory over the world champions, showcasing England's resurgence despite McCullum's recent departure from his Test role after a loss to New Zealand.

In the ODI match, Ben Duckett anchored England’s record-breaking total of 387 for three, featuring a stellar 141. Contributions from Jacob Bethell (91), Joe Root (74 not out), and a rapid 41 off 13 balls from Jos Buttler bolstered the team's score.

Despite a brilliant knock from Rohit Sharma, who scored 138, England managed to restrict India to 360 for seven. Brook attributed the success of Bethell's part-time spin, which dismissed Sharma, to McCullum’s insightful guidance during a critical moment in the game.

Brook expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their resilience after initially falling behind in the series. He noted, “That was a tough little period... communication has been outstanding throughout the T20s and ODIs.”

Looking ahead, Brook acknowledged the challenges of balancing formats, especially with a home Ashes series and the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching. He remarked, “It would be tough to do it, but I’m not saying it is impossible.”

India's captain, Shubman Gill, reflected on the match's pivotal moments, particularly Buttler's late hitting, while also addressing the team's bowling struggles.

As England seeks new leadership after McCullum and Ben Stokes stepped down, Brook's performance bodes well for his future opportunities.
