"Colin Munro Displays Sensational Performance in CPL Return with Stellar 120 Runs for TKR"
In an unforgettable display of power and precision, New Zealand's Colin Munro scored a blistering century in the Trinbago Knight Riders' (TKR) season opener against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025.
Munro's 120 runs off just 57 balls not only secured a memorable win for TKR but also set a new record for the highest individual score for the TKR franchise. His innings, characterised by an astonishing strike rate of over 200, included 14 fours and 6 sixes, leaving the Patriots' bowlers reeling.
The 38-year-old's century was his sixth in T20 cricket, making him the second oldest after Chris Gayle to achieve this feat in the CPL. Munro's performance also put him on par with Indian stars Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav for T20 centuries.
Munro and Alex Hales had a formidable 114-run opening partnership, laying the foundation for TKR's victory. Hales contributed 47 runs off 27 balls, providing the perfect foil for Munro's aggressive display.
Usman Tariq, with his four wickets for 33 runs, played a crucial role in slowing down the Patriots' momentum. His bowling performances ensured TKR had the upper hand right from the start.
Andre Fletcher and Kyle Mayers led the Patriots' chase, but they ultimately fell short, ending their innings on 197-8. Munro's heroics in the match have raised expectations for the rest of the CPL season.
Colin Munro's performance reaffirms his place as one of T20 cricket's most explosive performers. As the most prolific overseas scorer in CPL history, with over 2,560 runs at a strike rate of 132.5 in 82 innings, Munro's age-defying performance in the shortest format continues to impress.
