On a number of occasions, franchises have sacked their out of form non-Indian skipper in the middle of the season, to make the best of the maximum four foreigner slot in the playing XI.

However, despite his poor form, Sunrisers Hyderabad don’t plan to do something similar to Kane Williamson, who has an aggregate of 208 runs from 12 games so far in the IPL 2022, at a strike rate of 92. Sunrisers’ head coach Tom Moody defended his skipper following a 54-run defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the MCA Stadium here on Saturday.
