IPL 2018: Rating the captains after league stage

Kane Williamson (Sunrisers Hyderabad) - 9.5/10

After David Warner's ban from the 2018 IPL, few imagined that Williamson would actually overhaul the Australian's contributions and help his team cruise to the playoffs with nine wins in 14 encounters.

The New Zealand batsman led his side from the front, scoring 661 runs which include as many as eight half-centuries. He marshalled his troops in a near-perfect manner and when the rest of their players found the going tough, Williamson took matters into his own hands.

The SRH skipper certainly deserves to play in the final of the IPL this year.
