New Zealand's dashing batsman Colin Munro today called the Indian pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah the "best" new ball bowlers in the sub-continental conditions. Munro was in a great form in the series-deciding third and final ODI against India, scoring a fluent half century, but he is aware his aggressive approach would not always get him runs. "The big challenge for me was just actually finding a good tempo to bat at. I'd like to say that I want to go and blast off in the first 10 overs but it's not always going to be the case, especially when you are playing against Bhuvi and Bumrah, the two best opening bowlers in these conditions," Munro said on the eve of the first T20I against India. New Zealand lost the three-match ODI series against India 1-2 but will look to win the T20 series as they are the number one team in the world in this shortest format and have never lost a game against India earlier.

Big-hitting batsman Colin Munro believes New Zealand's perfect Twenty20 record against India will inspire confidence as the Kiwis seek to rebound from losing a one-day series. The Kiwis have won all five of the T20 matches they have played against India and having never won a Test or one day series in India it is a record they are anxious to keep going into Wednesday's start of a 20 over series in New Delhi.
