Coming to the IPL, perhaps the only batsman who could be glorified as the batting-twin to Christopher Henry Gayle, is his Caribbean disciple Evin Lewis. The mighty left-hander is not too much different from his idol Chris Gayle, who likes to tear apart the opposition bowling-attack right from the word go.

Lewis earned his well-deserved IPL contract with Mumbai Indians for ₹ 3.8 crores, in which scoring two T20I hundreds against India played an instrumental role.

After the heroics of Lendl Simmons in the past, MI will once again bank upon the Caribbean resources to fulfill opening duties.

T20 Career:

Inns - 82 | Runs - 2657 | SR - 146.06 | HS - 125*
