'Absurd hitting': Chris Lynn goes berserk in T10 match
Chris Lynn has scored the highest individual score in T10 League history with an unbeaten 91.
The Australian star fell just nine runs short of becoming the first centurion in the three-year existence of the Abu Dhabi-based competition.

Lynn's 30-ball innings at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday included nine fours and seven sixes as Maratha Arabians scored 138 from their 10 overs.
They won the game against Team Abu Dhabi by 24 runs.
"Obviously when you get a bit closer you want to get [to a hundred]," 29-year-old Lynn said.
"But the guy at the other end was hitting boundaries as well.
"So to get 138 on that wicket was a really good job."
Englishman Alex Hales previously held the record for the highest individual score in T10, recording an unbeaten 87 from 32 balls last year.
While Lynn said one great knock doesn’t define the summer, fans were nonetheless impressed with Lynn’s batting.
One hot day doesn’t make a summer but it was pleasing to be in the runs at the @T10League
Perfect lead up to #BBL09 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/etEffUg3Md— Chris Lynn (@lynny50) November 19, 2019
Chris Lynn in Abu Dhabi overnight: 91* from 30 balls. Hit boundaries from more than half the balls he faced (9x4s, 7x6s). Warming up nicely for @HeatBBL

Did KKR make a mistake releasing Chris Lynn? First game since the announcement, Lynn smashes 91 in 30 balls at the Abu Dhabi T10 League. KKR lucky that other teams aren't chasing an overseas opener. Can still buy him back at a lower price.

Chris Lynn finishes with a new T10 record high score of 91 not out off 30 balls with nine fours and seven sixes (Will Jacks' T10 hundred was an unofficial match). Absurd hitting from Lynn at what is a very large ground in Abu Dhabi. #T10League
