Can he win his second consecutive Orange Cap?

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain led them to their maiden Indian Premier League title last year. He was retained by the franchise for a $2.4 million. With 4014 runs, the Australian batsman is the fifth highest scorer in the IPL history.

Warner has won the Orange Cap on two previous occasions in the IPL. The 31-year-old top scored in 2015 and 2017. Also, he has scored more than 500 runs in the previous four editions of the competition. He averages 40.54 and has a strike rate of 142 in the IPL.

He will once again open the batting for SRH this season. He was criticized for his ability to play spin but he has improved a lot over the years, especially in limited overs format. He is the most consistent IPL batsman over the last few years and his unorthodox batting style will be hard to contain.
