Caribbean opening batsman Evin Lewis will be looking for a new franchise in the upcoming IPL auction after Lucknow Supergiants released him following his sub-par IPL 2022 season. 

However, the batsman has hogged the limelight a couple of days before the event after he named Rohit Sharma as the best batter in the history of Indian Premier League. 

Evin Lewis said – "Rohit Sharma is the Best IPL batsman ever". (To Sports Yaari)

Though the Hitman sure is one of the better batsmen to have graced the tournament, Evin Lewis picking him as the best-ever IPL batsman has left most of the people who follow the tournament shell-shocked. 

Rohit is one of the most successful Indian batsmen in the tournament history with 5879 runs (avg 30, SR 129) under his belt and as a matter of fact, boasts of the most gold. He has won the IPL trophy 5 times with Mumbai Indians and once with Deccan Chargers (2009). 

Regardless, Evin Lewis picking him ahead of the likes of Suresh Raina, Chris Gayle, King Kohli, etcetera is hard to digest as all of them have made more substantial contribution to the IPL with the bat in hand. 

Here are a couple of tweets bashing Lewis for his opinion:

Evin Lewis in the IPL

The destructive opener from West Indies has himself featured in 27 IPL matches across four seasons, scoring 654 runs at an average of 27.25.

Last season, Lewis was a part of the KL Rahul-led LSG unit and in the one prior to that, he served as a replacement for Jos Buttler at Rajasthan Royals.

Nonetheless, the most successful IPL stint for Evin Lewis came in 2018-19 while playing for the Mumbai Indians. The dashing batter amassed 430 runs (2 fifties, 26 maximums) in the 16 matches he played under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. 

Distinguished batsman with multiple T20 international hundreds again Team India, Lewis will enter December 23’s players’ auction hoping to find a new franchise at the grandest T20 league of them all.
