He has stood out as a franchise-player in leagues around the world and has shown consistency throughout the years. In his debut season of the IPL, Lendl scored 394 runs in just eight outings including a century. This Trinidadian had a pivotal role in Mumbai Indians' second-title winning run in 2015, where he scored a mammoth 540 runs in 14 matches as the league's third-highest scorer.
He had a memorable outing in the 2019 CPL with 430 runs with Trinibago Knight Riders. His lethal batting at the top of the order could come handy for the likes of Chennai Super Kings or Kolkata Knight Riders as a formidable opener.
