Colin Munro, the left- handed New Zealand batsman, is in the form of his life, smashing the life out of the bowlers in the recently concluded T20 series against Sri Lanka. After Guptill's innings which saw him create a record for the fastest fifty by a Blackcaps player, Colin Munro played a whirlwind knock barely 20 minutes later, to smash the aforementioned record, making a 50 of just 14 balls to lead his team to a morale-boosting victory. 

Although the Mumbai Indians boast of some heavily talented players like Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga and Corey Anderson, they might just have made a wrong decision by letting go off the hard-hitting left-hander, even though he hasn't featured in a single match for the side.
