On Thursday, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) player Evin Lewis created a stir. He turned around the lost match against Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team. He scored the most powerful fifty of this IPL season to help Lucknow win the match by 6 wickets.
In the match against Chennai, Evin Lewis scored fifty (55 runs) off 23 balls. It was the fastest fifty of the current IPL season. Earlier, the fastest fifty of the season was scored by Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and Chennai opener Robin Uthappa. Both scored half-centuries off 27 balls. Uthappa scored this second quick fifty against Lucknow in the same match. At the same time, Lewis scored 3 sixes and 6 fours in his half-century innings. His strike rate was 239.13. At the end of the match, Lewis shared an unbeaten 40-run stand off 13 balls with Ayush Badoni to win the lost match. Lewis scored 25 off Shivam Dube in the 19th over of the innings with two fours and a six.
Lucknow Super Giants had bought Evin Lewis cheaply in the mega auction. The base price of this West Indies player was only Rs 2 crore. When his bid started, none of the franchises had expressed interest in buying him. In such a situation, Lucknow bought Lewis at the base price while bidding. Last season, Lewis was seen playing for Rajasthan Royals.
