IPL Auction 2020: 3 batsmen KKR could target as a replacement for Chris Lynn

#1 Colin Munro

Can Colin Munro play the role of a floater for KKR?

An aggressive batsman at the top of the order, Colin Munro a was part of the Delhi Capitals squad last season but has been released by DC ahead of the player auctions in December. Munro is considered as one of the best batsmen in the shortest format of the game and is someone who can essay big knocks at an impressive strike rate.

Munro has acres of experience in the T20 format, having scored 1546 runs from 60 matches for New Zealand, and also has three centuries in T20I cricket.

While his international record is incredible, he hasn't been able to replicate the same performance in IPL. Munro was roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders in his debut IPL season, but he failed to make a mark, scoring just 30 runs from four matches.

Munro represented the Delhi-based franchise in IPL 2018 and IPL 2019, but could not make too much of an impact as he scored 147 runs from nine matches at a strike rate close to 137. Despite a poor show in his IPL career so far, he could be expected to do well for KKR.
