IPL 2026: Top 3 Biggest Steal Deals across the IPL tournament

2. Kane Williamson (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Kane Williamson has often been one of the most underrated performers in the Indian Premier League, quietly delivering match-winning contributions for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Despite repeatedly guiding the team out of difficult situations with his composure and class, he has often remained in the shadow of David Warner. 

SRH secured Williamson in 2015 for just INR 60 lakhs, a move that turned out to be a massive bargain considering his international form at the time. His true impact was fully realised in 2018, when he led from the front, finished as the tournament’s highest run-scorer, and took SRH to the final, proving his value as both a batter and a leader.
