5 CPL stars who could be huge IPL picks next season

2017 Hero Caribbean Premier League - Jamaica Tallawahs v St Lucia Stars
Krishmar Santokie has consistent bowling averages and a tail-end presence with the bat

Evin Lewis

2017 HERO Caribbean Premier League - Barbados Tridents v St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

One of three batsmen along with Chris Gayle and Brendan McCullum in T20 history to score two or more centuries in the shortest format of the game, Evin Lewis introduced himself on the big stage in the 2013 Champions League T20 tournament.

His rise as one of the deadliest batsmen in T20 cricket is attributed to his brilliant performances for the Trinidad Franchise over the past four years.

In every CPL edition, Evin Lewis has performed consistently and played a major part in the franchises most recent and second CPL triumph only a few days ago.

Having performed well for West Indies at the junior level, Lewis moved up to the international circuit flawlessly much like his mentor and teammate Chris Gayle.

Attracting a lot of suitors, vying to capture his services, the IPL should serve as the next platform to break into for the opening batsman, as he has described his journey thus far, as a dream come true.
