#3 Kane Williamson (Sunrisers Hyderabad)


With just 15 games over three seasons of the IPL, Kane Willamson has failed to get a regular chance so far in his IPL journey, but that could all change in 2018 as he has been named as the skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad after David Warner's omission following the ball-tampering scandal.
Williamson has been with the Hyderabad-based franchise since his debut in 2015 and played a small part in their 2016 title-winning campaign scoring 124 runs from 6 matches.
He had a much bigger role to play in 2017 when he scored 289 runs from 7 matches with the highest score of 89 in his first game of the season that helped his side beat Delhi Daredevils by 15 runs.
One of the best players in the world across all three formats of the game, 2018 could well be the year the Kiwi finally makes a long-lasting impact in the IPL.
