IPL 2018: The impact player for each franchise

Sunrisers Hyderabad - David Warner

The Australian vice-captain, who has dominated the last three IPLs, twice winning the orange cap, will as usual be the key to SRH's fortunes, especially in the batting department. His recent form with the bat has not been greatest by any means; however, in the absence of regular captain Steven Smith, he led Australia admirably well to victory in the Trans-Tasman T20 Tri-Series.

In Australia's tour of South Africa, Warner has a chance to regain his form; however, conversely, it will be interesting to see how he fares coming off a grueling Australian summer and the tour of South Africa. If past performances are any indication, David Warner is set to light up the IPL.
