"Released Chris Lynn so that..," KKR CEO Hits Back At Yuvraj Singh's Cheeky Tweet
Home > News Shots > Sports newsAfter former cricketer Yuvraj Singh criticised Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for releasing Australian batsman Chris Lynn from the team of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the franchise CEO Venky Mysore recently came out and responded to him.
Venky Mysore took to social media and said that KKR released Lynn so that they can bid for Yuvraj in the IPL 2020 auctions. "Yuvraj Singh, we released Chris Lynn so that we could bid for you! Love and respect for both of you champions," the KKR CEO tweeted.
Earlier on Monday, Chris Lynn gave a smashing performance with 91 off 30 balls in the Abu Dhabi T10 league.
Minutes after that, Yuvraj Singh commented that KKR's decision to release Lynn was a "bad call" and later joked on it saying that he might drop the franchise's co-owner Shah Rukh Khan a message regarding it.
But when media contacted, the 29-year-old star, he said that there are players better than him who have been released by IPL franchises, therefore he is not upset.
Currently, Lynn will soon be available for the auction for IPL 2020 which is all set to take place on December 20 in Kolkata.
