#1 Sunrisers Hyderabad - Kane Williamson

With his calm and composed captaincy, Kane Williamson has taken Warner-less SRH to the playoffs this season. Kane has been donning the dual role of being a key batsman and the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kane along with Shikhar Dhawan has shouldered the whole burden of their fragile SRH batting line up. He has shown his wide variety of shots to score runs on the slow and turning surfaces of their home ground, Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad.
Thus far the SRH skipper has amassed 685 runs in fifteen innings with the help of eight fifties at an average of 57.08 and a decent strike-rate of 143.61.
With his team losing to CSK in the Qualifier-1, the onus will be on Kane to come up with a big innings to give bowlers a decent score to fight with, when they next meet the winner of eliminator on Friday.
Given the form the 27-year-old is in, he is most likely to top the batting charts and win the orange cap this season.
