'I prefer Johnny Sins' - Chris Lynn wants to be compared with porn star instead of Steve Austin

Australian opener Chris Lynn is perhaps one of the most destructive batsmen in the world of T20 cricket today. The 29-year-old plies his trade in almost every T20 league in the world and is currently playing for Lahore Qalandars in the just started fifth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This is the first time he’s playing in the league, though he was supposed to make his debut in 2018, but couldn’t due to injury.

Lynn sounded excited to be playing for the franchise after being given another chance to do so. He is also aware of his fan base in cricket crazy nation of Pakistan and has promised to live up to the expectations of everyone when he plays in PSL 5. However, he was in talks recently for something other than cricket. Something more risqué is what he compared himself on Twitter.

I prefer Johnny Sins: Chris Lynn quips at a fan

A Pakistan fan of Lynn shared a photo of the dashing opener sitting in the dugout with him looking at the camera. Along with Lynn, there was Ben Dunk also clicked in the image sitting in front of him and the fan labeled the duo Stone Cold Steve Austin and Goldberg, on the line of famous WWE wrestlers. “Goldberg and Steve Austin watching #PSL2020 match in #Lahore. Good days are back,” he tweeted.

Surprisingly, Chris Lynn replied saying that he didn’t feel like either of the two wrestlers Goldberg or Steve Austin. Instead, he chose world-famous adult movie star Johnny Sins as his doppelganger. “I prefer Johnny Sins,” Lynn tweeted.

Lynn admitted that he would need to adjust to the bounce and movement of Pakistani pitches, which were vastly different from what he had played on in Australia during the Big Bash League season recently. He also knew that his franchise, the Qalandars had not had a good run in the tournament, but was confident of them doing better this time around.

“I am playing in Pakistan for the first time and I will try my best to get adjusted as soon as possible. I feel this year the squad is strong and balanced,” Lynn was quoted as saying by geosuper.tv before the start of the season.
