#3 Jason Roy and Colin Munro

Jason Roy was not DD's first choice overseas opener. They wanted the aggressive Kiwi batsman Colin Munro to do the damage upfront for their team. However, Munro was a tad unlucky and scored just 4 runs in the two opportunities he has got so far.
Gambhir realized the need to change his team and hence the axe fell on Munro. After Roy's brilliance against MI, his place in the dugout was nailed. However, Munro has an impressive average of nearly 35 in T20Is and his strike rate is over 160. The opening has been Daredevils' primary concern and they might consider giving Munro another opportunity and go with an all overseas opening combination.
