Big Bash League - Heat v Hurricanes
Lynn could miss this year's IPL

Chris Lynn injured himself in the recently completed tri-series tournament. His shoulder is dislocated and there is still no proper update on his recovery.

So, there is a chance that he could miss this year IPL season for KKR which would be a big blow for them.

KKR invested big in Lynn in at the auction as he was bought at a price of 9.6 crore by KKR.

So, they might need a replacement for Lynn if he misses the entire tournament. Here are the five players who could be his replacements if he is unavailable in this year's IPL


#5 Alex Carey

New Zealand v Australia: T20 Tri Series
Carey was the second highest scorer in the 2017-18 BBL season

Alex Carey could prove to be a good replacement for Lynn. A good wicket-keeper batsman, he was the second highest scorer in 2017-18 BBL season.

He scored 443 runs in 11 matches including a hundred at a strike rate of 141.53. He is a clean hitter of the ball who likes to attack from all fronts and is in red hot form.

KKR basically needs top order batsman in absence of Lynn, so here Carey could fulfill that requirement.

He could also be used as lower order batsman to finish the game or score maximum runs in death overs.

He could also be given the job behind the stumps as Robin Uthappa and Dinesh Kartik are known for dropping catches at crucial moments.
