#2. Evin Lewis
At No.2 comes Evin Lewis. The dashing opening batsman has a career strike rate of 153.05 in T20 cricket and is one man who is unstoppable if he gets going. Lewis has played 26 matches for the West Indies so far and has scored 753 runs at a decent average of 30.12. The X factor in Lewis is his ability to judge the length in a jiffy. He can either get a big stride forward and smash the bowler off the front foot or he can rock back on to the back foot with ease and pummel the ball past mid-wicket.
He will indeed be the danger man upfront if he gets going, then the he can pretty much change the course of the match. India should be wary of the danger that Lewis possesses at the top of the order.
#1. Kieron Pollard
Kieron Pollard is a man who can take the game away from the opposition in a jiffy. The West Indies skipper is no stranger to Indian conditions having played in the high-octane IPL for a staggering 10 seasons. Pollard has a whopping strike rate of 146.83 in the IPL, and is also a hugely-experienced campaigner in the shortest format of the game.
His power and hand eye coordination can rattle any bowling attack and he hits monstrous and towering sixes with ease. Pollard has also been in very good form this year for the West Indies in T20 cricket. He has played 6 innings this year and has scored 165 runs at a very good average of 41.25. If Pollard can get going, then the Indian bowlers and the skipper will have plenty to worry about.
The T20 series against the two teams promises to be an exciting affair. And, if these three players can click for the ‘Men in Maroon’ then they will give plenty of headaches to the Indian outfit.
