It might sound a little odd but I don't think we have a place for Lewis in any of the IPL teams let alone Lucknow. Evin Lewis is ideally an opener and being played most of his career as an opener he is pretty much comfortable over there and looks clueless batting at rest of the positions. I know he won a game for LSG but that was just an innings in a blue moon.
In India we have a lot of accumulators who just know to bat the inings and it becomes important for them to bat as high as possible. I think we have enough local talent to find an opening pair for all 10 teams in this league.
Even currently we can make those opening pairs
CSK- Ruturaj / Uthappa
DC- Shaw / Bharat
MI- Rohit / Kishan
RCB- Kohli / Anuj Rawat
RR- Yashasvi / Paddikal
KKR- Venkatesh Iyer / Rahane
PBKS- Dhawan / Mayank
SRH- Garg / Abhishek
GT- Gill / Saha
LSG- KLR / Vohra
Plus the plethora of Overseas openers like Roy, Billings, Warner, Bairstow, Livingstone, De Kock, Du Plessis, Conway, etc etc.
Tbh Evin Lewis is a gun player but I am surprised why would we even need him here at the IPL?
Lewis walks into KKR. I think there are a lot of suspects in those list of openers.
