CHRIS LYNN
Chris Lynn has been the lynchpin for Kolkata Knight Riders since 2012 and though he has often been injured and missed matches frequently, KKR side had never thought of letting him go. But ahead of the IPL 2020 auction, the unthinkable happened and Lynn was let go. Meanwhile, Lynn had seen a dip in form and given his high price for retention, KKR decided to let him go despite him scoring 491 and 405 runs in past two seasons.

A big reason for his release may also have been his fragility. Lynn has a tendency to get himself injured, especially his shoulders which have undergone surgery and hampered his hitting abilities as well. But given his impact and ability to win matches at the top, franchises may be interested in buying him. Even KKR may go for him at a lower price in the auction.
