#2 Kane Williamson’s captaincy

Kane Williamson’s spot-on captaincy has been one of the main reasons behind Sunrisers Hyderabad’s good campaign this year. The Kiwi skipper was handed the baton after Australia’s David Warner was banned from this season, following the ball-tampering scandal. Williamson has responsibly led the side, as was evident in his side qualifying for the playoffs with nine wins.
He has made some great captaincy moves, which includes benching some star players and trusting the lesser-trusted ones. Individually too, Williamson’s performances have been great this season.
He is currently the highest run-scorer, with 688 runs in 16 games.
