5 Players who could replace Chris Lynn if he is unavailable

# 1 Joe Root

Root's can be a leader for KKR on the field as well

Joe Root is undoubtedly the number one choice for Lynn's replacement.

The English batsman is only second to Virat Kohli in the limited overs format. He has an average of 39.10 in T20I's and is one of few players who knows how to play in a difficult situation and finish the game.

He has scored 4428 runs in 106 ODIs with a staggering average of 50.9. Root went unsold in the auction. But now the situation has changed for KKR as he could easily find a place in the squad if Lynn is unavailable.

The best thing about him is that he has captained for his national side, so in that way KKR will also get a leader on the field whom they can rely upon to extract the best performance out of their team.
