IPL 2020: Releasing Lynn Was Bad Call By KKR, Reckons Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh stated that KKR’s decision to release Lynn was a bad call and joked that he might drop Shah Rukh a message on that

The players’ auction for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is expected to be a massive crowd-puller as many big names are set to go under the hammer. To everyone’s surprise, several franchises have released some long-standing players and Australia’s Chris Lynn is one of them. The dynamic opener was associated with the Kolkata Knight Riders since 2014. However, the Shah Rukh Khan-owned team decided to release the batsman ahead of the 2020 season. Meanwhile, former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh stated that KKR’s decision to release Lynn was a bad call and joked that he might drop Shah Rukh a message on that. “Chris (Lynn) was outstanding today, unbelievable hits,” Yuvraj, who also plays for the Maratha Arabians, told reporters after the game. “He is someone I have seen in the IPL. He has given some great starts to KKR. I really don't understand why they have not retained him. I think it is a bad call, must send SRK a message on that. Chris was just outstanding today,” he added. Lynn smashed 91 off 30 balls playing for the Maratha Arabians in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, shattering the record for the highest individual score in T10 cricket previously held by England's Alex Hales (87 off 32 balls). Yuvraj also said that he is happy playing leagues outside India and has not yet decided whether he wants to get into coaching IPL teams.
