IPL 2017: 5 possible replacements for injured KKR batsman Chris Lynn

#5 Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh)

Tamim can be effective at the top of the order for KKR

With Afghanistan’s Mohammad Shahzad being caught in an anti-doping code violation by the ICC, Tamim Iqbal can be a possible replacement for Chris Lynn. One of the most reliable batsman in the Bangladeshi line-up, Iqbal’s cricket remains effused with elegance, defined amply when he plays his trademark straight drive.

One of the hardest hitters of the ball in his country, the left-hander has carved a name for himself as a successful subcontinent player. With a century in the qualifying stages of the T20 World Cup last year for his team, the underrated batsman can prove to be more than an effective top order batsman for KKR, in conditions that he remains familiar with.
