IPL Auction 2018: 5 foreign players Chennai Super Kings should have on their radar

#1 Evin Lewis

Evin Lewis has made a name for himself in the T20 arena with his explosive hitting at the top of the order in recent months. The 26-year-old is one of the finest T20 players in the world at the moment and his record in the format is nothing short of outstanding.

However, he has never featured in the Indian Premier League. However, that looks likely to change this year.

The West Indian batsman has three T20 hundreds to his name in 84 matches and has an overall strike rate of 146.06. He smashed 371 runs in 12 matches in the last edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and his stocks are expected to go up and up in this edition of the IPL auction.

With CSK looking for an able batsman to replace Dwayne Smith at the top of the order, they could certainly use a hard hitter like Lewis to fit that criterion. He has the ability to take the game away from the opposition single-handedly and will be the ideal replacement for a swashbuckling opener like Smith.
