A T20 specialist of sorts, Chris Lynn's six-year long association with Kolkata Knight Riders ended as the franchise released the explosive opener ahead of the IPL auction 2020. The Australian cricketer, who is known to cause destruction as an opener, is a potent option for any T20 side in the world.

He has displayed his effectiveness as a T20 campaigner even for KKR in the years gone by at the IPL. Being a powerful striker of the ball, he possesses the ability to demolish bowling attacks on his day.

After his unexpected release by KKR, it might interest other franchises to bid for Lynn in the auction next month.

Chennai Super Kings can target the Aussie cricketer, especially as their first-choice opener next year. CSK struggled with their opening slot and Lynn could be the perfect solution to their opening woes. He will be a valuable addition given he can terrorise oppositions with his early onslaught in the first six overs itself, something CSK lacked in IPL 2019.
