IPL 2019: Top 3 knocks by Chris Lynn in IPL history 

#2 45(42) v RR, IPL 2018

Lynn curbed his instincts against RR

Now this might raise your eyebrow, but there are a whole lot of reasons for this innings to be on this list. First of all, let's understand that at night, the Eden Gardens pitch was churning out a few tricks. Rajasthan Royals, while batting first, were mopped up for a meager 142 in 19 overs.

In reply, Sunil Narine got the hosts off to a flyer, but in the meantime, Lynn was struggling to find his usual rhythm. But instead of throwing the kitchen sink at the ball, the Aussie decided to add some calm to his batting approach. He rotated strike and stood up to the task while watching wickets fall on the other end.

Lynn curbed his instincts, and instead of attempting to deposit a full-length ball to long on, he nudged it to the deep for a single. He did help himself to five fours and a six. More importantly, against a spin attack that could have done him for good, the 28-year-old put his haters to bed.

Although he couldn't complete his half-century and take his team to two points all by himself, Lynn maneuvered his usual batting style to thread an important innings that saw KKR win the game.
