Lewis can add some West Indian flair to the KKR line-up

Evin Lewis made waves in the nation after he notched up a century against India in the high scoring T20 series that was held in the USA last year. Much like every West Indian, Lewis too has remained a destructive player in the T20 circuit, averaging 30.44 in 56 T20 games to date. More importantly, a strike rate of 135.53 reflects why he regards Chris Gayle as his cricketing idol.

Having dished out match winning performances in the Caribbean Premier League, the Champions League and the Bangladesh Premier League, the opener remained unsold at the IPL auctions this year. With KKR already sans Andre Russell, Lewis promises to bring in the West Indian flair to the line-up.
