#1 Evin Lewis

New Zealand v West Indies - 1st ODI
Evin Lewis could wreak havoc in the IPL this year

Being touted to be the next Gayle is no joke. After all, Gayle has done things in the IPL that no one has been able to come close to doing. Evin Lewis has shown that he could be the one to emulate his countryman's miraculous feats. The 26-year-old has opened with Gayle on many occasions, and has even managed to be the more explosive of the two!

Lewis had a spectacular 2017 and has three international T20 centuries to his name, with a strike rate of close to 150. He smashed 371 runs in 12 games in the previous edition of the Caribbean Premier League. At INR 3.8 crores, he could prove to be the steal of the auction. The Wankhede has proven to be a fantastic batting pitch over the years, and Evin Lewis could set it on fire with his style of batting.

Don't be surprised if he walks away with this year's Orange Cap accolade!
