World T20 Group 2: From Ashwin To Munro, The Players Who’ll Make A Difference


Players to watch from Group 2 of the World Twenty20, featuring India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh, as the tournament's main draw gets underway on Tuesday: Ravichandran Ashwin (India): With question marks over India's pace attack, Ashwin will be the team's go-to man in home conditions. The off-spinner comes into the tournament as the top-ranked T20 bowler in the absence of the West Indies' Sunil Narine. With many variations including the 'carrom ball' up his sleeve, Ashwin is feared on Indian wickets and he's also handy with the bat lower down the order. Colin Munro (New Zealand): Forget Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill and Corey Anderson, New Zealand suddenly has another big-hitter in the form of Munro, 29. The unheralded left-hander has been in sensational form this year and starred in the Black Caps' 74-run thrashing of Sri Lanka in Thursday’s warm-up match in Mumbai. Munro smashed 67, including seven sixes, off 34 balls, leading Anderson to call him "one hell of a player". His form is timely for New Zealand, after the retirement of their swashbuckling captain Brendon McCullum.
