Lynn is looking forward to the upcoming auction.
"There are players twice as good as me that have been released from franchises so KKR want to win the tournament and that's the priority for Brendon McCullum. The auctions coming up, so if I happen to score a few more runs and be fresh in the mind of some coaches, that's a positive," said Lynn.
