It’s essential to point out that the Hyderabad-based team did not retain Kane Williamson in preparation of the auction or re-sign the Kiwi star during the bidding process. In November, Williamson ended his eight-year association with the Orange Army while captaining the Hyderabad team in the IPL 2022.
It is important to note that Markram led the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, a team owned by the Sun Group, to their first SA20 title in South Africa. In 12 innings, the Proteas batter scored 366 runs, including a century for the Eastern Cape.
Here’s how Internet users congratulated the new Orange Army skipper:
Good, it’s a step in the right direction. We need a Hyderabadi nick name for him, don’t we?…I suggest Aidi bhai…he along with Lara kaka will bring the cup home!..what say?😁🏆
