CPL 2016: Team of the Tournament

3. Chris Lynn (Guyana Amazon Warriors)

Lynn was the top run-scorer of the 2016 CPL with 454 runs

After struggling in the third edition of the CPL, scoring just 187 runs in nine innings, the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ decision to sign the Australian batsman came as a bit of a surprise but the talented 26-year-old showed remarkable application this time around to end up as the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 454 runs.

He might have fallen at the final hurdle against his former side but the way Lynn built up his innings on most occasions was a lesson in itself that T20 cricket is not all about slam-bang cricket but that there are opportunities in abundance for players who show patience and the skill to anchor the team around him.
