Kane Williamson has established himself as one of the great batsmen across formats in the modern era. Since making his debut in 2010 for New Zealand, his performance at the international level has been nothing short of exemplary, and his name regularly comes up when we talk about the best batter in this generation.
The current New Zealand white-ball skipper has raked up over 17500 runs in 345+ games across formats for his team at an average of close to 48, which is simply astonishing with 9800+ runs coming in wins.
He stands currently at 24th on the all-time run-getters list, and the best part is, he is still churning out runs. As a captain, he has led New Zealand to a World Test Championship title, apart from taking the team to an ICC World Cup and T20 World Cup final.
Centuries are an integral part of cricket, and it helps the batters bolster their run tally. Kane has notched up over 40 through the course of his career in Tests and ODIs. Let us take a glance at his stupendous record.
