IPL 2020: 5 major steal deals from the auction

#1 Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn

Country - Australia

Type - Batsman

Base Price - ₹2 crores

Sold at - ₹2 crores

The shocker of the IPL Auction was when the first name came up and it was that of Chris Lynn. Lynn has scored runs across various leagues but hasn't been able to leave a mark in IPL yet. KKR released him ahead of the auction due to his below-average performances but the fans expected teams to spend a lot for the Australian opener, especially after his heroics in the recently concluded T10 league in Abu Dhabi.

Mumbai Indians camp's reaction on getting Chris Lynn at his base price talks about his stature and the fans would like to see how he performs for the Paltan. The interesting part would be whether he gets enough games to play with Mumbai Indians who heavily rely on its core and uses the tried and tested overseas combination of Kieron Pollard, Quinton de Kock, Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan.
