Chris Lynn hoping Rohit's run-out doesn't hurt his chances

CHENNAI: Opener Chris Lynn, who got an opportunity to play the opening match for Mumbai Indians in place of Quinton de Kock, is hoping that his first match doesn't turn out to be his last after the right-handed batsman was involved in a run-out of his skipper Rohit Sharma in Friday's match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. "It's not ideal, running out your captain in the first game. The first game could be my last, who knows (laughs)? But it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, happens in the game," said the Australian in a post-match media interaction.

The Australian joined Mumbai Indians in 2020 but didn't get to play a single match in the season. This time he got a chance to play the season-opener since Quinton de Kock is serving quarantine upon arrival from South Africa. IANS
