Munro makes explosive return in TKR opening win

New Zealand's Colin Munro made an explosive return to the Trinbago Knight Riders on August 17, smashing a century – the first of the 2025 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) – against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Warner Park, St Kitts.Munro's scintillating knock set-up TKR's massive total of 231 for five in their allotted 20 overs, to eventually prevail by 12 runs in their opening game of the tournament.

It was Munro's second CPL century and took him seventh on the all-time list of run scorers, but in considerably less games and a better average than those above him. Munro has been a crucial player in past TKR title runs and could be the missing piece in the puzzle this year.

The left-hander pummelled every Patriots bowler, combining power with precision to finish on 120 from just 57 balls. An astounding 92 of his runs came via boundaries, hitting 14 fours and six maximums.

Lol GOAT is right. They need them foreign players. Outbid Falcons for Amir. All the years they won was mainly a result of the overseas players.
