IPL 2018: 5 batsmen who can take up the opening duties for Mumbai Indians

#2 Evin Lewis

Evin Lewis would be a crucial player for MI in this year's IPL

Another left-handed batsman in the competition is a fiery opener from Trinidad, Evin Lewis. He is one of the few players with two or more hundreds in Twenty20 Internationals. He is the one West-Indian batsman whom India will always remember because of his brutal assault on the Indian bowlers. Lewis is now a regular opener for Windies, who either fill in for Gayle in latter's absence or bats alongside his idol.

MI will be looking at Lewis as a sure-shot opening option. Having opened so many times in Caribbean Premier League, he would like to do the same for Mumbai Indians this time around. MI would be looking around Lewis-Rohit as the opening combination. The reason for the same would be the skill-set that both the batsmen possess. Thus, of all, Lewis would be the perfect choice as an opener for MI in the upcoming edition of IPL.
