Kane Williamson is a 28-year old right-handed batsman from New Zealand and is widely considered one of the best batsmen in the world across all formats.

In 2015, Kane Williamson was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad and had scored just 31 runs from the 2 matches he played for them. Williamson played only 6 matches and made just 124 runs for SRH in 2016. In 2017, the franchise retained him and he had scored 256 runs from 7 matches.

In 2018, SRH retained Kane and he was appointed as the captain replacing David Warner. Williamson had a great season as a captain leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to the finals. Known to be a test specialist, he proved cricket pundits wrong by winning the Orange Cap in IPL 2018 scoring the most runs with 735 runs in 17 matches(17 innings).

Kane Williamson has been retained by SRH in this year's edition and the fans would be hoping for a repeat performance.
