2 Chris Lynn- Brisbane Heat

Big Bash League - Heat v Hurricanes
Chris Lynn

He is comfortably among the top 5 big hitters in cricket at the moment and he is the Brisbane Heat's best batsman by some distance. Last season he was in imperious form and made a mockery of many bowlers in the BBL.

However, 2017 has not been kind to him and injuries have played a part in inhibiting him from playing regularly. When in full flow, there can be no better power hitter in world cricket and the monstrous sixes that he can hit can get any crowd to their feet. Last year, he opened the innings for the Heat and scored at a rate of 177.59 as he plundered 26 sixes in addition to 17 boundaries.

That being said, he is coming back from an injury now and it remains to be seen if he is back to is best. A fully fit Lynn could light up the tournament. BBL fans, Australian selectors and fans of the Kolkata Knight Riders will also be watching the proceedings with great interest.
