IPL 2017: Top 5 overseas players

#3 Chris Lynn

Lynn smashed it to all parts and often gave KKR good starts

The Australian batsman proved to be a vital opener for the Kolkata Knight Riders in more instances than one. He scored a staggering of 295 runs in seven matches with a high score of 93* off 41 balls. In that knock, he mustered six fours and eight sixes and swamped the Gujarat Lions.

Lynn’s partnerships with Gautam Gambhir (against Gujarat) and Sunil Narine (against RCB) were extraordinary. Despite sustaining a shoulder injury, he came back with his usual destructive nature.

Known for being a hard-hitter, Lynn was another monstrous addition to their top-order which already boasted Robin Uthappa.
