Kane Williamson burst onto the scene when he became the first New Zealand cricketer to score a hundred on his Test debut, scoring a gutsy 131 against India at Ahmedabad. The 30-year-old added 20 more test centuries over the next 10 years , establishing himself as one of the pillars in the Black Caps line-up. In ODIs, Williamson became the youngest centurion for the Black Caps after his hundred against Bangladesh in 2010. Williamson assumed the position of captain of New Zealand across all forms of cricket after the retirement of Brendon McCullum in 2016.
Soon after assuming captaincy, the SRH star became the thirteenth batsman to score a century against all the other Test-playing nations. He achieved the feat in the fewest innings, the quickest time from his Test debut and became the youngest player to achieve this feat. Williamson won the Player of the tournament during the 2019 Cricket World Cup, where New Zealand lost the final on boundary count. The 30-year-old currently has the most centuries by a New Zealander in Tests.
