IPL 2016: 5 surprising exclusions in IPL teams so far

5. Kane Williamson

Williamson can provide the much-needed solidarity in the Sunrisers’ batting line-up

The New Zealand skipper is one of the best batters in the world right now and it is his exclusion from the Sunrisers’ playing XI which has surely raised quite a few eyebrows.

Williamson along with Kohli, Smith and Root are considered the best batsmen in the business at this point of time because of their exemplary performances across the formats. Kane is also a more than a useful part-time bowler who can provide the much-needed breakthroughs.

The Sunrisers have struggled so far in the tournament and someone of the caliber of Williamson should definitely be drafted into the squad to bolster its batting as well as its slow-bowling department. Williamson, a calm bloke, can be the medicine that the Sunrisers team management is looking for the revival of its fortunes.
