Kane Williamson has been in exceptional form this season. He has timed the bowl to perfection and has been clearing the ropes with ease and grace. He has made up for the loss of David Warner in this IPL.

If he carries this form into the finals then he can single-handedly lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad to their second IPL trophy. The CSK pacers should try to get him out early in the innings. Kane likes the ball coming on to the bat and tries to play late.

Deepak Chahar should bowl in the off-stump channel and bring him on the front foot. Williamson has scored 688 runs at an average of 52.92 at a strike rate of 143.33. Chahar's figures this season read 10 wickets at an average 25.3 and an economy rate of 7.4.
