IPL 2023: 5 Players Lucknow Super Giants might release ahead of mini-auction
LSG played some phenomenal cricket in their debut season (2022). But they lost the Eliminator to Royal Challengers Bangalore and got knocked out of the competition.
3. Evin Lewis
Evin Lewis has been a prominent figure in the T20 circuit. He is renowned for his power-hitting prowess and can take any bowling attack to the cleaners. Till date the flamboyant batter has played a total of 209 games and amassed 5766 runs at a strike rate of 144.07.
The 30-year-old was drafted into the LSG camp to add firepower to the batting lineup. Lucknow already had Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul in their ranks and the West Indies batter was asked to slot in the middle order. Lewis playing at number four, smashed a blistering knock of 55 runs off 23 balls against Chennai Super Kings to take his side home.
However, apart from one match-winning innings, he could not have any impact on the competition as he scored mere 18 runs in five games. Thus, Lewis's batting out of place did not help in the longer run. Hence, Lucknow who have a star-studded top order might look to part ways with the Trinidad-born and free up an overseas slot.
