Mumbai Indians (MI) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
In the 12-year history of the cash-rich league, this will be the third occasion when it will be held outside the boundaries of India.
3. Chris Lynn
Chris Lynn is a terrific addition by all standards to an already settled and strong unit. He is an incredibly explosive batsman and a marvellous fielder who can take the game away in a flash. A hard-hitting top-order batsman, Lynn is highly experienced in the shorter formats of the game and has consistently contributed to the Big Bash League apart from the IPL.
Given his dominating nature with the bat, he is most suitable at the top where he can also make the best use of fielding restrictions. Apart from adding some quality in the top-order of MI, Lynn has also added to the headache of team selection.
He is ideally fit in the spot of an opener, however, if MI decides to play de Kock and Rohit, Lynn can easily adjust himself at No. 3. Alternatively, he might get a chance to open if de Kock is excluded and Ishan Kishan is brought in at No. 3.
