Need Williamson for anchoring the game: Warner

Chennai, April 21 : SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman Kane Williamson, who played his first Indian Premier League match of the season on Wednesday, after missing the earlier games due to injury, said he is feeling good and fit."Bit of a minor injury on my elbow.

Its feeling pretty good.Nice to be out there and get my first opportunity," said the batsman who batted at No.3 and made an unbeaten 16 off 19 deliveries as his team SRH powered to a nine-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS).His team skipper David Warner said that Williamsons ability to play spin well makes him an integral part of the line-up.

"The game plan of having Williamson there is obviously to anchor the game.He rotates strike so well.

Against spin, he gets forward and gets back, he just knows his role and game plan.Its handy having him in the middle," said Warner after the match.
