- Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 3 Crores. After David Warner stepped down from captaincy he was named as the captain. His potentials as a test batsman were known but the captaincy material in him was put to test. While he lived up to his reputation as a batsman in the shorter versions also, surprisingly he proved to be a better leader in taking his team to the playoff stage.
In the 14 matches so far, the New Zealand captain Williamson has scored 661 runs at an outstanding average of 60.09 with the best score of 84 and at a healthy strike rate of 143.07 which is very rare from a test batsman. He has been the most consistent batsman and is 2nd in the list of leading runs scorer.
Coming at number 3, Kane Williamson scored 8 half centuries. As a captain, he made good bowling changes and led the batting from the front. In the fielding also, he demonstrated agility and proved that his hands were safe in catching, making youngsters in his team like Rashid Khan, Manish Pandey to emulate him. Kane Williamson would continue his impressive batting and will become the Orange cap holder as Rishabh Pant’s opportunities have come to end.
