IPL's Orange Cap Winners: Where are they now?

2018 - Kane Williamson (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The Sunrisers Hyderabad were handed a massive blow ahead of the 2018 IPL as David Warner was banned; however, due to Kane Williamson's exploits as captain and as a batsman, the void left by David Warner was almost not felt.

Without altering his strong technical game, Williamson was able to score prolifically and led from the front in the Sunrisers' run to the final. While Williamson was always regarded as a fine Test and ODI Batsmen, there were question marks over his ability in the shortest format of the game; however, he silenced all critics after his stupendous season.

In fact, Williamson made so much of an impact as a captain and as a batsman that despite Warner's return, he is likely to be retained as the captain of the side. He will be looking at the upcoming IPL as an opportunity to find some form heading into the World Cup, where his side New Zealand will be the dark horses.
