The New Zealand and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain finished the tournament as the highest run-getter, as his 17 innings accounted for 735 runs @ 52.50 and a strike-rate of 142.44, including eight fifties.

Having taken over the reins of the side from Australia’s David Warner, after the latter was banned from the cash-rich league following his alleged involvement in the infamous ball-tampering scandal, Williamson emerged as the batting mainstay of SRH and silenced all those cynics who never really rated him as a T20 batsman.

Stats: Matches 17, Runs 735, Average 52.50, S/R 142.44, HS 84, eight 50s.

Most memorable performance: A classy 84 off 51 balls against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Chasing 183 for victory, the SRH captain’s effort went in vain as CSK won the tight contest by just four runs.
