On the contrary, Harry Brook has managed just 13 wins in his first 33 games. The right-handed batter amassed 453 runs in 13 innings at an average of 45.30 with the aid of one century and two fifties. As a result, Iyer clearly has an edge over Brook after the first 33 ODIs.
Overall, Iyer has amassed 2,917 runs in 79 ODIs (67 innings) at an average of 47.81 with the help of five tons and 23 half-centuries. Thus, Brook can follow Iyer's footsteps or perform even better in the coming years.
