Kane Williamson Test Century: Test cricket season has started once again. Due to the ICC ODI World Cup, neither Test nor T20 matches were being held for the last two months. But now both have started. In this connection, the New Zealand team is currently on a tour of Bangladesh, where two Tests are to be played, the first match of which is going on. Former New Zealand Test captain Kane Williamson has scored another century on the second day of the first Test. This is his third consecutive century in this format. With this, Kane Williamson has equaled Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli in terms of scoring centuries in Tests.
Kane Williams scored 29th century in test cricket
In Test cricket, Virat Kohli has scored 29 centuries in 187 innings of 111 matches, whereas Kane Williamson has played only 95 Test 165 innings and has scored 29 centuries equal to Virat Kohli. Kane Williamson came to the crease to bat at a time when clouds of crisis were looming over the team. Opener Tom Latham returned to the pavilion after scoring only 21 runs, at that time the team’s score was only 36 runs. After this came Williamson. However, the process of falling wickets continued from the other end. Devon Conway was out after scoring 12 runs and Henry Nicholas was out after scoring 19 runs. Kane, along with Daryl Mitchell, rescued the team from trouble. He played an innings of 104 runs on 205 balls. During this period, 11 fours came from his bat.
Kane Williamson number one batsman in ICC test rankings
Kane Williamson has scored four centuries in four consecutive Tests. He is also currently the number one batsman in the ICC Test rankings. His rating in Test is 883 and the second batsman is far behind him. In second place is Joe Root of England, whose rating is 859. Now after the century his rating will obviously increase. In such a situation, he will remain the number one batsman for some more time.
Sachin Tendulkar has the most centuries in Tests.
The record for scoring most centuries in Tests is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who has scored 51 centuries. With this century, Kane has equaled Virat Kohli as well as Don Bradman, one of the legendary batsmen. Michael Clarke and Hashim Amla, who scored 28 centuries, have been left behind. Only two days have passed since this test, so there are high chances of getting results. New Zealand, the one-time champion of the World Test Championship, has entered the Test field for the first time in this new cycle. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of the match is.
