India vs New Zealand 2017, 1st T20I: Hits and Misses

#3 Miss: Colin Munro

While expecting the short ball, Colin Munro was not able to deal with a full one

Right from the start of the tour, New Zealand showed intent by reposing faith on Colin Munro at the top of the order. His blazing 75 in the deciding ODI was an apt demonstration of his propensity to keep the opposition bowlers at bay. Switching over to a format wherein he has an international century to his name, a lot was expected from the left-hander. With a daunting target staring at them, a Power Play blitz was imperative to shore up their chances.

Taking a cue from the ODI series which he seemed to have watched closely, veteran pacer Ashish Nehra started to attack Munro with the short ball. But the southpaw was prepared to counter the challenge. He did not look too comfortable against the particular length and almost gave his wicket away by dancing down the track. Hardik Pandya, who had grabbed a sensational catch to help his team see the back of Martin Guptill, could not hold on to this one. However, the drop did not turn out to be costly as Bhuvneshwar Kumar preyed on Munro's weakness by delivering an unexpected yorker which castled the stumps.
