# 2 Evin Lewis

Evin Lewis is one of the best T20 players around the globe

Evin Lewis is already held as the next 'Gayle' of West Indies cricket and has the ability to clear the boundary with ease. Lewis is a hard hitting opener and became the third batsmen to score two hundreds in T20 internationals.

Lewis is currently no 4 batsmen in the ICC T20 rankings. In 14 T20I matches, Lewis has scored 468 runs at an average of 36, with an impressive strike rate of 154.96. More interestingly, Lewis has hit 40 sixes and 26 fours in his career, which shows his power hitting ability.

Lewis had gone unsold in the IPL auction last year, but with his consistent performance in the T20 format, he is in for a big IPL contract in this year's auction.
