Australia’s right-handed top-order batsman Chris Lynn is capable of adding value to any T20 side across the globe. The batsman is the leading run-scorer in Australia’s domestic tournament, Big Bash League (BBL). Thus, it may come as a surprise to many that he was benched for an entire season by the franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL.

Lynn was purchased by Sunrisers Hyderabad for their debut season in 2013 but didn’t manage to feature in a single match that season. He was later bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2014 edition and has some stunning numbers to his name.

In 41 IPL games, he has scored 1280 runs at an average of 33.7 and strike-rate of 140.5. Meanwhile, he was released by KKR after the 2019 edition and moved to Mumbai Indians (MI) for the 2020 edition. However, the batsman couldn’t find a place in the playing XI and warmed the bench for the entire season in IPL 2020.
