IPL 2018: Overseas Players’ report card

#1 Kane Williamson (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Kane Williamson SRH — Kane Williamson led his team all the way to the finals

In the absence of David Warner, I thought SRH would be one of the first teams to exit the cash-rich league. I was proven wrong thanks to some brilliance from Kane Williamson.

Williamson was always considered a test player, but this year he proved his haters wrong. Always seen as a backup batsman for SRH, this year he got the chance to showcase his skills. He brought a touch of class to T20 cricket.

While a lot of batsmen were pummeling the ball with brute force, Williamson was using sheer timing and placement to find the gaps. I still remember his innings against RCB when SRH were chasing 218 runs to win. He was timing the ball so beautifully and he had a strike of 200.

Kane Williamson led his team all the way to the finals. He was the orange cap holder at the end of the tournament scoring a massive 735 runs from 17 matches with 8 fifties and an impressive strike-rate of 142.44.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
