Classy Kane Leading The Way​​​​​​​

There’s something very refreshing about watching an elegant cover drive or a stylish on-drive in a high-octane T20 game. While most batsmen in the Indian Premiere League (IPL) have been getting their fame for bludgeoning the ball and striking colossal sixes, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson has quietly risen to the top of the batting charts through his classy and composed batting.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain has been one of the leading run-scorers of IPL 2018 with 493 runs in 11 matches with six fifties. He has been the nucleus of Hyderabad’s batting and is one of the prime reasons for the team’s spectacular success this season of the IPL where they have topped the league table at present.

As a batsman, Williamson has been exceptional. In a brittle batting line up, he has been the glue holding the team together at the top. With a slew of match-winning scores, Williamson has shown that how crucial his style of batting can be in a tournament like the IPL. He has been steady, giving himself time to settle in and then taking on the bowlers apart. It is a strategy that has worked for him brilliantly and allowed him to play some truly special knocks – the most recent of them being the unbeaten 83 off 53 balls against Delhi Daredevils in a formidable chase.
