IPL 2018: 5 players who can beat Chris Gayle's record for the highest score in an innings

Colin Munro

Munro has a phenomenal strike rate of 149 in T20s

Colin Munro is among the most explosive openers in the world right now. He has been a huge asset to the New Zealand team and this year's IPL could be a breakthrough year for him.

The Kiwi opener has scored three centuries in international T20s and has the ability to score big. He had scored one of those hundreds in India against the mighty spin attack of the Indian team, which shows his ability to tackle spin.

Munro was bought by Delhi Daredevils for just Rs 1.9 Crore, which was one of the biggest steals of this year's IPL Auction. The Delhi team might ask him to open along with Gautam Gambhir and he would be allowed to play his explosive game in a manner similar to what Chris Lynn did for KKR when Gambhir was the captain of KKR.
