Since David Warner was banned from the league in 2018 after the ball-tampering saga, Kane Williamson took over as the skipper of the side. Under his leadership, the Sunrisers finished as the runners-up that year.

Williamson led the team in 2019 as well, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who captained the side in a few games when Williamson was injured. The team finished fourth that season.
