Can Lewis be the next Caribbean superstar in the IPL?

In the absence of big names like Chris Gayle, Dwyane Bravo and Kieron Pollard, Evin Lewis has become the mainstay of West Indies' batting in the recent past. The Trinidadian opener has played some splendid innings for West Indies in his two-year-old international career.

In the 14 T20Is that he has played for West Indies, he averages 36 at a strike rate of over 150, with two centuries, both coming against India. The 26-year-old opening batsman was bought by Mumbai Indians for a hefty price of 3.8 crores.

Mumbai Indians not buying any other overseas opening batsman shows the amount of faith that the franchise has in Lewis' ability. Lewis will want to prove the team management right by scoring big runs in the tournament.
