    SRH hand captaincy to David Warner ahead of IPL 2020

    What's the story

    Sunrisers Hyderabad have handed captaincy reins to David Warner ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 season.

    Warner had earlier led SRH to their maiden title in 2016.

    The southpaw, who was banned in 2018, came back last season to win the Orange Cap.

    Warner will replace Kane Williamson as SRH's skipper.

    Here are further details.

    SRH

    Williamson had led SRH in 2018 and 2019

    In 2018, SRH appointed Williamson as their leader in the absence of Warner.

    The latter returned to IPL action last year but the franchise stayed with the Kiwi star as its first-choice captain.

    Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar filled in as his deputy.

    Notably, Williamson led SRH to the IPL 2018 finale and also took the side to playoffs last season.
