#4 Sunrisers struggle
Sunrisers Hyderabad has named Kane Williamson their skipper for the IPL 2019 season. He was the captain in the last season as well as the former captain David Warner was banned for 12-months by Cricket Australia due to the ball-tampering scandal. However, Williamson has recently suffered a shoulder injury and underwent scans and some medicals tests ahead of his joining the team for the season. He might be unavailable for the first couple of games due to his injury and that is why the team management has named his deputy as Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
