Career

Kane Williamson is the most technically compact of his batting generation, working the ball into gaps with minimal movement and almost no risk. He is New Zealand's leading Test run-scorer and has done it in conditions that consistently favour bowlers.

As captain he led New Zealand to the inaugural World Test Championship title in 2021 and to two consecutive World Cup finals, including the 2019 final decided on boundary count. His conduct after that match, and his refusal to complain about the result, became as widely discussed as the cricket.

  • New Zealand's leading run-scorer in Test cricket
  • Led New Zealand to consecutive World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019
