Talking about the same during the post-match conference, “We have to speak to the physios, he’s (Williamson) coming along nicely and plays a big role in our squad. ” After the match against RCBwhere SRH lost by six runs, Trevor Bayliss, their head coach, also updated on Kane’s fitness. “We had two days of practice before the RCB game, and Kane Williamson practiced in one of the days. So, he’s coming along,” Bayliss had said.

He further added, “We just felt that Kane needed a little bit of extra time to get match fit and a little bit more time in the nets. He would have played in place of Jonny Bairstow obviously if that had occurred. But we aren’t too perturbed about that, Jonny has been in form recently in white-ball cricket here in India. Kane will obviously come into calculations as the tournament unfolds.”
