Hyderabad Warriors Season Preview: Can Gill Lead Us to Glory?

With CPL S2 around the corner, Hyderabad Warriors enter the season with one of the strongest squads on paper and plenty of momentum from the practice matches.

At the heart of it all has been Shubman Gill.

Gill's practice match numbers:
• 113* (60)
• 121* (72)
• 97 (42)
• 92 (54)
• 112* (56)

That's 535 runs in 5 major innings at an average of 133.75 and a strike rate well over 180.

Whether partnering Virat Kohli or carrying the batting himself, Gill has looked unstoppable at the top of the order. His consistency has been the biggest positive from the preseason and a major reason why the Warriors have won 6 of their 8 practice matches.

With Kohli, Pathirana, Rana, Mulder, Jamie Smith, Bethell, Connolly and the rest of the squad firing, expectations are high.

Question for fellow Warriors fans:

Can this team finally go all the way in CPL S2?
