Lynn played a valuable knock for KKR tonight which was instrumental in his team winning the match. The Australian scored 62 runs but what makes it really unique and not an archetypal Lynn knock is the fact that it came from 52 deliveries.

For someone who is accustomed to maintaining a strike rate of 150+ in most of his IPL innings, maintaining one of 119.23 is not something you daily see.

However, it was Lynn's composure and his concern for the team that made him play a knock that was not so aggressive. Lynn smashed seven boundaries and a six but most of them were shows of occasional but lethal aggression.

The Aussie's knock eventually won him the Man of the Match award.
