At the IPL 2020 auction, Chris Lynn was bought by four-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians for his base price of Rs 2 crore.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) released the 29-year-old ahead of the auction after the Australia batsman spent five seasons with the franchise.

Earlier, Sydney Sixers captain Moises Henriques won the toss and elected to bowl against the visitors. 

Sean Abbott provided the first breakthrough in the second over when he removed Max Bryant for just one.

Sam Heazlett then put on a 84-run with skipper Lynn for the second wicket before he was stumped off Ben Manenti. Manenti struck again to get the prized scalp of Lynn.

Matt Renshaw continued the onslaught as he remained unbeaten on 60 off just 39 deliveries.
