#1 Chris Lynn

Lynn scored 309 runs at an average of 154.50 at a strike-rate of 177.59 in 2017 season of BBL

A powerful striker of the ball, Chris Lynn was bought by KKR for a whopping price of 9.6 crores.

He made his first impression in IPL by taking an insane catch of AB De Villiers. He also made an important 45 in that match which won him the man of the match award.

Last year, Lynn and Sunil Narine took RCB apart, when they formed a record 106-run opening partnership off 36 balls.

Lynn popularly known as 'Lynnsanity', is famous for hitting big sixes and his game-changing abilities.

He was the 'man of the tournament' in the BBL for two seasons in a row.

In 2017 season of BBL, he was dismissed only twice and scored 309 runs at an unbelievable average of 154.50 at an astonishing strike-rate of 177.59.

In 2016 season, he was the top-scorer in the BBL with 378 runs at an average of 54, and again at a mind-blowing strike-rate of 173.

Lynn was injured recently in a tri-series match but as per the update he would join the camp of KKR and they are hopeful of him playing the first match.

If Lynn plays all the matches for KKR this season, he will make sure that his fans get an entertaining season. His record also shows that he would definitely go for the orange cap.
