Brisbane Heat skipper Chris Lynn caused havoc at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.

Days after getting snapped by the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Lynn showcased his prowess in the shortest format of the game. He also became the first man to bring up 2,000 BBL runs as he hit 11 sixes in his innings before getting out. Lynn reached his half-century in just 20 balls.

Lynn recently expressed excitement on social media as he tweeted immediately after being snapped up by the defending champions Mumbai at his base price of Rs 2 crore. He said he won't have to face ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah since they will now play for the same franchise. “Great City, Quality Franchise, Flat wicket, Don’t have to play against Jasprit Bumrah. Can’t wait for @IPL 2020,” Lynn tweeted.

@mipaltan ✅ Great City ✅ Quality Franchise ✅ Flat wicket ✅ Don’t have to play against @Jaspritbumrah93 ✅ Can’t wait for @IPL 2020
