2018 IPL auction: Five players who are likely to fetch the highest bid

Evin Lewis (West Indies)

Expected auction price: ?7-9 crore

Having already registered two international T20 centuries to his name, Evin Lewis is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the format. A typical West Indian batsman, with all the shots in the book, he has only one form of play, attack.

On his day, Evin has the ability to whack the ball out of the stadium from the very first ball and has the knack of accumulating big runs very quickly.

His consistent performances for West Indies and in the CPL, make him a prime candidate to be one of the most sought-after openers in the auction.
