#1 Chris Lynn

The first thought that comes to mind when you hear about Chris Lynn is that huge six that he hit off Shaun Tait in the Big Bash League. One of the cleanest strikers of the ball in the shortest format, Lynn was released by KKR ahead of the 2020 auction.
He has been a part of the franchise since 2014 and has scored close to 1300 runs in 40 matches at a strike rate greater than 140.
Lynn has time and again proven his effectiveness at the top of the order. Besides the IPL and the BBL, he has taken part in Caribbean Premier League and the T10 league where he was equally successful.
He is familiar with Indian conditions and has the ability to go big from the get-go, and should be considered as one of the primary options for the opening slot.
Lynn is also an exceptional fielder which adds a lot of value to the team. Given his abilities, he is a hot favourite in this auction.
