Top 5 T20I run-getters in 2017

#1 Evin Lewis - 357 runs

Evin Lewis's proficiency at the top of the order has made West Indies a force in the shortest format

Destructive and fearless at the top of the order, Evin Lewis's powerful striking of the ball at the top of the order has been immensely beneficial for the Carribean side. With a century and two fifties in 2017, it's no surprise that Lewis finished as the top run-getter in the shortest format of the game.

Failing to get off to a strong start in the T20I series against Pakistan at home in April, Lewis came into his element in the third T20I as he smashed his way to a 51-ball 91 run knock, laced with nine sixes and five fours that earned him the Man of the Match award.

Later, against Afghanistan, Lewis' string of poor performances by his lofty standards - he compiled scores of 26, 25 and 19 in three games - did not deter him as he blasted his way to his second T20I century, against India, a spectacular 62-ball 125 decorated with 12 sixes and six fours.

In the one-off T20I in England, Lewis smashed his way to a 28-ball 51 that led the way for WI's victory.
