Following Yuvraj Singh's criticism of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for releasing Australian batsman Chris Lynn for next year's edition of the Indian Premier League, franchise CEO Venky Mysore has come out with a cheeky response to the former Indian all-rounder.

Mysore said on Tuesday that KKR released Lynn so that they can bid for Yuvraj in the IPL 2020 auctions. "Yuvraj Singh, we released Chris Lynn so that we could bid for you! Love and respect for both of you champions," the KKR CEO tweeted.
