His second T20I hundred was also against India, where he hit a brilliant 125* at Sabina Park. This shows he is good against Indian bowlers and scores heavily against them.

Lewis was center of attraction at the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 in India, where he scored 211 runs across five innings.

In 2017, Lewis scored the highest 357 runs in nine T20Is at a strike rate of 154.54 which also includes a hundred.

For Lewis, Gayle is his mentor and he likes to hit big sixes like him. Lewis went to MI for a price of 3.8 crores and he would like to continue his form in IPL and make himself the contender for 'orange cap'.
