Can Shreyas Iyer become the next Michael Bevan for India?

Do we need Michael Bevan in 2021?

With Bevan, it does not necessarily mean not having the ability to accelerate when it matters but being able to play clutch innings in pressure situation.  Even in T20s, you can afford to have a player like that.

 

Iyer can accelerate enough when required and has shown the composure to handle pressure situations and play clutch knocks. This is exactly what the greatness of Bevan is known for because he did it day in and day out. He played in the same era as Klusenar, was not as attacking as him either but ended up as a greater finisher of the game because he could come up at 22-5 and chase down 230 totals with quite ease.

Klusner, bevan all were finishers who mostly batted at 6,7 and iyer will be mostly at 4,5 when he plays so comparison shud be made with players who batted at those places 

At 4,5 we need guys like ABDV, KP, Lara, yuvi and we already have pant n KL . Once gill improves his attacking game which he will , he ll be a big contender for 3,4

Bevan is awfully underrated.

 

He would have crushed it in this era.
