IPL 2017: 5 possible replacements for injured KKR batsman Chris Lynn

#3 Sabbir Rahman (Bangladesh)

Rahman can be a useful addition to the KKR setup

Not many Bangladeshi cricketers feature in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, but those who do play, form an important part of their teams. Shakib-Al-Hasan, for instance, is a player vital to KKR’s cause.

Another player from his country who could add value to the Knight Riders is Sabbir Rahman. The 25-year-old cricketer will provide the side with an excellent option both with bat and ball and has the backing of the stats as well to merit a call-up

In 103 T20 matches in his career, he has made 2211 runs at a strike-rate of 121 and has also picked up 15 wickets with his leg-break. If picked, he would also come into the tournament with significant match practice under his belt, having played for his country against the Sri Lankans earlier this month. Will he get the nod? Only time will tell.
