Australia batsman and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper David Warner, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and the team's assistant coach Brad Haddin arrived, in Chennai, on Friday for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.

 

The Warner-led side had won five out of their last six games to qualify for the playoffs in the 13th edition of the tournament and the team will be looking to carry forward the momentum in this year's IPL. Warner, Haddin, and Williamson will now be quarantined according to the protocols for seven days before they join the squad for the IPL.

"Just landed, looking forward to getting out of the seven days quarantine," Williamson said in a video posted on SRH's Twitter.

Over the years, SRH has depended heavily on skipper David Warner and he has consistently delivered. With 548 runs in the 13th edition, the captain once again led the Hyderabad unit's charge. And it will be a delight for the SRH team management that opening partner Jonny Bairstow has also been in tremendous form.

When it comes to the bowling department, Warner has one of the best line-ups at his disposal. While Bhuvneshwar is back and showed his prowess in the recently concluded series against England, T Natarajan stole the show in the last edition and was rewarded with a national call-up. Not to forget Sandeep Sharma's swing bowling and Rashid's spin.
