XtraTime Web Desk: Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain Kane Williamson will be missing Tuesday nights Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) clash against Chennai Super Kings due to an unforeseen circumstance. The New Zealand captain has returned home due to a personal tragedy. The BlackCaps cricketer will have to attend the funeral ceremony of his grandmother.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the Orange Army in the absence of Willaimson. The Sunrisers are placed in the middle of the table in this edition of the cash rich league with 10 points from 9 matches.
Williamson will be back leading the Hyderabad franchise for the match against Rajasthan Royals on April 27. The Kiwi batsman had to miss a few matches at the start of the season owing to injury that he sustained earlier. The 12 year old batsman has so far scored only 28 runs from four matches at an average of 9.33. The result for such poor average is also due to the fact that he isn’t required to bat due to the consistent opening duo of Johny Bairstow and David Warner. The pair has notched four century partnerships so far in the league.
