Even though SunRisers Hyderabad have been doing wonders in the ongoing IPL, skipper Kane Williamson on Sunday revealed that it is impossible for anyone, including Alex Hales, to replace suspended David Warner. Williamson was appointed as SRH skipper after Warner was banned by Cricket Australia for his involvement in a ball-tampering scandal during a Test in South Africa in March.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of replacing David Warner. I think that’s probably an impossible thing to do. He is one of the best T20 batters in the world and for this franchise in the last few years,” Williamson said.
“It’s nice to be on top of the table. But at the same time, I mentioned a number of times that we want to keep seeing those improvements, keep adapting to the different surfaces that we would be faced with in every game,” Williamson added further.
He further lauded SRH players Shikhar Dhawan, Rashid Khan, Siddharth Kaul and Wriddhiman Saha for their performances in the tournament.
