Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) booked their place in the playoffs of the Indian Premier League with a five-wicket victory over table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a crunch game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Saturday.
Kolkata Knight Riders beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets to storm into the IPL 2018 playoffs.
Troubled by a dodgy shoulder, the 28-year-old was deemed unfit and was dropped for Australia's upcoming limited-overs tours of the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.
Opener Chris Lynn played an unbeaten knock of 62 to power Kolkata Knight Riders to a clinical six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in match 29 of IPL 2018 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Chris Lynn was seen batting in full flow as two-time IPL champions KKR geared up for a fresh season with a practice match at the Eden Gardens on Monday.
Lynn headed to training less than 24 hours after he joined along with veteran speedster Mitchell Johnson, who opted to rest.
Lynn was ruled out of the on-going Pakistan Super League but has set the objective to honour his contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Australian Lynn was suffering from a shoulder injury that had ruled him out of the Pakistan Super League, while West Indian hard-hitting all-rounder Russell has pulled a hamstring during a match of PSL.
Lynn will be missing out on the PSL after suffering the injury however after receiving positive news from the doctors, Lynn is hopeful of recovering in time for the IPL which begins in April.
In the ninth over of New Zealand's innings, Lynn threw himself to his right in an attempt to save a boundary off Ross Taylor.
Playing for KKR, Lynn has scored 295 runs in 7 matches with an average of 49.16 at a mind-boggling strike-rate of 180.98 in the last edition of T20 extravaganza.
A rain delay reduced Australia's target under the Duckworth-Lewis method to 95 runs in 15 overs, and the hosts scored 96-3 in 11.3 overs for an easy victory.
