Following a match-winning century against Sri Lanka, Harry Brook celebrated with a WWE-inspired move, mimicking 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. This was a direct response to a recent drinking scandal where Brook was given a final warning and fined. Teammate Joe Root expressed his hope that the celebration would be well-received by fans and teammates alike.

Brook's celebration was intended as a gesture to regain the trust of his teammates after the off-field incident. The England captain has had to work to regain his teammates' confidence. Root sees this as a sign of his leadership qualities, highlighting his ability to remain composed under pressure. It's a key part of his development.

Root believes Brook has shown excellent growth throughout the series. He praised Brook's calmness during the game, particularly when Sri Lanka fought back. It's a sign that he is earning back the trust of his teammates. The celebration was a lighthearted way of expressing that.

This isn't the first time an England player has referenced an alcohol-related issue in a celebration. With Brook's performance and response to the situation, he is likely to be a leader in the team and grow throughout the competition. What happens next is up to Brook and the team.
