KKR bought Lynn for a whopping Rs 9.6 crores in recently IPL Auction.

Fielding at short midwicket in the ninth over of New Zealand’s innings, the 27-year-old dived full stretch towards his left and even though he reduced down the pace of the ball by getting his hands to it, he immediatly looked in pain and was off the field after getting some attention from physiotherapist.

Few days ago, former South African cricketer Jacques Kallis agreed to the fact that Lynn was one of the players in line to be KKR’s new captain.

“Yes, he is probably one of the candidates but we haven’t yet decided about it. May be, we will get to know in the next couple of weeks,” he signed off.
