India vs New Zealand 2017, 3rd ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match

#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar's faulty opening spell

Munro took a special liking to Bhuvneshwar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the second best economy rate in the first 10 overs in ODIs since the 2015 World Cup. But when you are faced with a manic hitter like Colin Munro, you either slip in the knuckleball with success, or get taken to the cleaners. The Kiwi opener was in the mood today and went for broke from over one, hitting Bhuvi for a six and two fours.

Guptill and Williamson also dug into Bhuvneshwar, who had sent down a mesmerising spell only a few days ago at Pune. In the ninth over, Munro took him on by stepping out and slamming him over the mid-wicket boundary. His opening spell read 5-0-51-0.
