Bengaluru, April 17: Kane Williamson was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 14 Crore ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction and as expected was also retained as the skipper of the franchise for the ongoing season.
Williamson first took over the reigns as SRH captain in 2018, when he led the franchise to the final and finished the season as leading run-scorer with 735 runs. He also had spells as captain in 2019 and 2021 season.
The New Zealander is no stranger to captaincy as he is second most successful Test skipper of the national side, winning 22, losing 8 and drawing 8 of his 38 matches as the Kiwi red ball captain.
He has also led the national team in the limited overs formats. In 56 T20Is, Williamson has led NZ to 28 wins and 1 tie, while 1 match has ended in No result, the remaining 26 were lost.
In 77 ODIs as skipper, Williamson has won 41 times, lost 33 times, while 1 match has ended in a tie - the 2019 World Cup final and 2 matches were No Results.
In the 2022 season, Williamson's side had lost the opening two matches, but bounced back with back-to-back five wins. However, their winning run was brought to an halt by Gujarat Titans and since then they lost two in a row.
Since their IPL debut, eight players have captained the Sunrisers with David Warner being the most successful skipper having led the side to their only IPL title in 2016.
Williamson is the second most successful captain of the side followed by Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kumar Sangakkara, Cameron White, Darren Sammy and Manish Pandey, who rather had very short stints as skipper of the franchise.
