Fans have expressed their frustration following Williamson’s absence from the playing 11 on social media platform Twitter.

SRH don’t deserve Kane Williamson. That man is not for strengthening the bench, pathetic management. Transfer him to CSK. He will be the perfect replacement of Ms Dhoni IMO. #SRHvsRCB #MSDhoni

Williamson was expected to start in SRH’s first match of the ongoing campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, fans were left bewildered when the Kiwi was left out. SRH lost the game against KKR, mostly owing to a batting collapse, with the lack of solidity in the middle order emerging as an area of concern.
Williamson’s inclusion for the match against RCB, could have provided some relief. SRH coach Trevor Bayliss has termed lack of match fitness, as the prime reason being the New Zealand batsman being sidelined.
