However, despite his efforts, the Renegades struggled to build partnerships and were eventually restricted to 142/9 in their 20 overs.

The Adelaide Strikers’ bowling unit was the star of the show. Henry Thornton, the right-arm fast bowler, was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 3 wickets for 27 runs in his 4-over spell. His brilliant bowling kept the Renegades in check throughout their innings. Supporting him well were Lloyd Pope and Jamie Overton, who each took 2 wickets, putting the Renegades’ middle order under pressure.

His powerful hitting guided the Strikers toward the target, and despite a few wickets falling at the other end, Lynn’s knock ensured the chase was never in doubt. The Renegades bowlers tried to make inroads, with Thomas Stewart Rogers and captain Will Sutherland each picking up 2 wickets, while left-arm off-spinner Jacob Bethell also chipped in with a wicket. However, Lynn’s brilliance proved too much for the Renegades to handle.

With Lynn anchoring the chase, Adelaide Strikers reached the target of 143/5 in 18.3 overs, winning by 5 wickets. The match was a comprehensive dis??play of both bowling and batting prowess, with Lynn being named the Player of the Match for his outstanding half-century.

The Big Bash League changed everything.

What is the BBL?

Launched in 2011 by Cricket Australia, the BBL is fast, exciting and has a huge fanbase, in Australia and?? around the world. The chance to swing big and rack up huge scores gives BBL an edge over traditional formats like test cricket and T20 internationals. Some serious legends have graced BBL stadiums since 2011. Below, we take a closer look at the league’s all-time biggest hitters.

Chris Lynn

Since making his debut for the? Brisbane Heat in 2011, Chris Lynn has scored a huge 3,421 runs in the BBL. The right-handed batsman is known for his explosive power and is no stranger to sixes. It’s not unusual to see Lynn hit balls that fly for more than 90 metres! In a game played at the fabled Gabba in Brisbane, Lynn thumped a ball delivered by Aussie fast bowler Shaun Tait onto the roof. For the record, Tait has bowled at speeds of more than 161 kilometres per hour.

A special mention to Brendon McCullum, Lynn’s former opening partner. While he’s not celebrated as one of the biggest BBL hitters of all time, he and Lynn gained a reputation as the ‘Bash Brothers’ for their antics on the field.

Aaron Finch

Victorian-born power hitter Aaron Finch has more than 3,230 runs for the Melbourne Renegades under his belt.

Tassie batsman Jonathan Wells is right up there when it comes to the biggest BBL hitters of all time. Over 126 matches played betwe??en 2011 and 2023, Wells has scored a massive 2,797 runs. Some were scored during his time with the Hobart Hurricanes and others playing for the Adelaide Strikers. In 2022, Wells was snapped up by the Melbourne Renegades. Watch this space!

In the 2019-20 season he scored a huge 705 runs over 17 matc?hes. So, it was no surprise when he was named Player of the Tournament.

Chris Lynn, a member of the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad, has requested Cricket Australia to book a charter flight for his compatriots once the Indian Premier League (IPL) is over.

Three Australian players, including Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson, have already cut short their stay in India and have withdrawn f??rom the remainder of the IPL. Steve Smith, David Warner, Pat Cummins are some of the chief Australian players who have de?cided to continue playing in the T2??0 tournament.

Lynn expounded that since CA makes 10% from every IPL contract of the Australian players, the latter might help its sportsperson fly home securely. The Queensland player made the request due to a surg??e in the number of covid-19 case??s in India.

“I texted back that as Cricket Australia make 10% of every IPL contract was there a chance we could spend that money this year on a charter flight once the tournament is over?” Lynn told News Corp media.

Taking view of the grim condition, Lynn pointed out that the players are going for vaccination next week and hoped that the ??government would accept? his request.

“I know there are people worse off than us. But we are going from a really tight bubble and are getting vaccinated next week, so hopefully, the government will let us get home on a private charter,” Lynn stated.

Talking about his plans, Lynn stated that he wasn’t looking to get back home before the end of the cash-rich league. The 31-year-old was proud of the fact that he, along with other players, have been entertaining people in these tough times.

“Obviously India is in chaos at the moment. But we are at least giving people something to smile about by playing the tournament,” Lynn added.

IPL’s regular leg ends on May 23, with qualifiers and eliminators to follow before the final on May 30.
Meanwhile, Australia has decided to stop flights from India and other red-zone countries due to the ongoing pande??mic.
