Colin Munro joins Chris Gayle in elite list with exceptional century against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

Game 4 of the ongoing CPL (Caribbean Premier League) 2025 saw Trinbago Knight Riders taking on St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The two sides locked horns at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts, on August 17, and the game began with Knight Riders coming in to bat first after losing the toss. 

The side opened their innings with Colin Munro and Alex Hales coming out to bat, and it was the knock of Munro that propelled Knight Riders to a huge total. Coming out to bat, Munro amassed 120 runs in 57 deliveries, hitting six sixes and 14 fours. Putting in an exceptional performance, Munro went on to join former West Indies batter Chris Gayle in a brilliant feat.
