The IPL season 12 will be seeing the former Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner returning to play for the men in orange. Ahead of the IPL Auctions, Shikhar Dhawan was traded to the Delhi Capitals in the trade window.

This trade allowed the Sunrisers to strengthen the middle order by additions like Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma being added to the squad. This trade also allows Kane Williamson to be promoted up the order.

In any team, the openers are key to the success, and this Kiwi and the Aussie pair can be 'the thing' that brings the gold that slipped away from them in the previous year.

In the 114 matches, that Warner has played in the IPL, he has scored more than 4000 runs at a remarkable average of 40.55, and Williamson was the highest run-scorer for the team.
