IPL 2019: Best possible opening pairs in each team

#5 Mumbai Indian: Evin Lewis and Quinton De Kock

Evin Lewis needs to step up

One of the major reasons for Mumbai Indians disappointing season last time around was their lack of consistency in the top order. Their best batsman was the uncapped Indian Surya Kumar Yadav and other than him only Evin Lewis had over 350 runs in the 2018 season.

To make the top order much stronger, Mumbai Indians have added Quinton De Kock who was previously part of RCB last season to their team in the IPL trade window before the 2019 IPL auctions.

This would mean that the pair of Evin Lewis and Quinton De Kock will most probably open the batting for the Mumbai based franchise. This move will make the team much stronger and the side will hope that they will give the team flying starts more often than not to make the job easier for the middle order.
