It seems like Kane Williamson is all set to make his presence in the game against Delhi Capitals. So far, he played only one game for the franchise when David Warner and Vijay Shankar led the team to the winning ropes against Rajasthan Royals at home. During the course, Kane looked pretty discomfortable on the field.
Meanwhile, ahead of the game against Delhi Capitals, the official Twitter panel of SRH gives a slight hint of Kane Williamson returning to the field. However, it would be interesting to see, who will replace him.
They posted a picture of Kane Williamson and reminded the fans that Williamson was the star batsman for SRH when they toured Delhi in the previous edition. And also, they asked fans to guess the score of Williamson tonight in the same venue.
The last time we played Delhi, Kane Williamson scored 83* off 53!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar led the team in place of Kane Williamson:
Having lost their opening match of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad were utterly dominant in the next two matches.
Delhi, on the other hand, defeated Mumbai Indians in a clinical fashion in their opener before losing two and winning one (through Super Over) in their next three matches. However, they lost an easy game against Kings XI Punjab.
The introduction of Mohammad Nabi proved vital as the all-rounder brought in the wickets during the second innings. While SRH has quite a few players in their arsenal, consistency is key and that is something that they will be hoping to achieve very soon.
Capitals were in command of the match till the 15th over of the second innings. Although Kings XI Punjab scored 166 in their 20 overs, DC’s batsmen made significant knocks as the team inched closer to victory. But what followed was an amazing Kings XI Punjab comeback.
The fixture will also see David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan take on their former sides and the two are presently also the top-scoring players in this particular fixture for their current teams. Dhawan leads the charts for Delhi, while Warner does the same for Hyderabad.
