IPL: Top contenders to score a ton for their respective franchises

#7 Kolkata Knight Riders - Chris Lynn

The hard-hitting Australian batsmen, Chris Lynn who has the might to huge sixes, will be a key factor for the Karthik-led KKR side. Lynn, who has been in and out due to injuries would be hoping to stay fit for the entire season so as to blaze apart the oppositions in every possible game. He is expected to open for the team with either of Sunil Narine or Robin Uthappa.

His previous outings with the bat in the IPL are enough to justify his talent with the bat as he boasts to have a top score of 93. Lynn, who is coming from an injury sustained in the recently concluded PSL, is known to go after the bowlers from the ball one. The team will rely heavily on him and can expect him to get few paramount scores to propel a good start for Kolkata. The franchise invested a lot of faith in him as he was bought back in the auction for a hefty amount of INR 9.60 crore. Given his form with the bat, players like Lynn need a game or two to turnaround things for them and thereafter can be as dangerous as possible.
