A century against Zimbabwe in the 2nd Test of the recently concluded tour made Kane Williamson the youngest player in history to score centuries against all Test playing nations. A feat achieved just a day before his 26th birthday makes the achievement that more special. With the retirement of Brendon McCullum, Williamson has put his hands up and has taken the additional responsibilities for the betterment of the team.
Given his immense talent and his prolific form across all formats Williamson will be the biggest hope for the Kiwis in the tough tour against South Africa. But given his importance to the side, his brilliance and temperament as a captain will be tested in the following years and we hope he will take New Zealand to greater heights in the near future.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
