Munro describes Bhuvi, Bumrah as best new sub-continental bowlers

New Delhi: New Zealand's dashing batsman Colin Munro on Tuesday 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 have a 100 per cent record against India in this format, winning all their five matches so far.
"We have been lucky enough for the last couple of years to be successful. Looking forward to the series and it should be a good one," Munro said.
He added: "I play aggressively, my way sometimes it comes off and you look good, sometimes it doesn't and you don't look good. Obviously, there is plenty to play for and we have got a good record against India. Hopefully, we will get off to a good start."
Mitchell McClenaghan and Luke Ronchi are out with injuries and their absence did hurt the team.
"Their absence has been felt but (Tom) Latham has done really well this season. We have got an experienced bowling attack," said Munro.
