From CricArcade's IPL records, 2018 to 2022 · Sources

Evin Lewis, a batter, played four IPL seasons for three franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Evin Lewis arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹3.80 cr, against a base price of ₹1.50 cr.

That first season brought 13 matches and 382 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2018, for Mumbai Indians: 382 runs at an average of 29.4, striking at 138.4 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 138.1, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 65.

Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2021: 151 runs at a strike rate of 162.4, 35 runs per hundred balls quicker than the IPL as a whole that year.

Franchise by franchise

2018 to 2019, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2018 auction for ₹3.80 cr. 16 matches and 430 runs; champions in 2019.

2021, Rajasthan Royals. Arrived outside the auction. 5 matches and 151 runs.

2022, Lucknow Super Giants. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹2 cr. 6 matches and 73 runs.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Mumbai Indians, 2018 to 2019. 2020 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the runs came

Across the career, Evin Lewis struck at 137.1. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 135.1, so the scoring rate tracked the league's almost exactly. 71% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 62 fours and 36 sixes.

The fielding record: 9 catches.

At the auction

Evin Lewis went under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹3.80 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2018. Unsold in 2020, Evin Lewis was bought again in 2022 by Lucknow Super Giants.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Evin Lewis made 27 IPL appearances, the last for Lucknow Super Giants in 2022, and won 1 player-of-the-match award.
