3 reasons why Kane Williamson can finish as one of the best Test batsmen of his generation

#1 Test cricket over anything else

New Zealand v Pakistan - 3rd Test: Day Five

One thing which goes in Williamson's favour is that he is a decent T20 batsman, but not a great one. This means his focus is on Test cricket. Thus his priorities are not compromised and he does not need to modify his batting to suit the demands of T20 cricket. He will focus on Test and ODIs, which will keep him on par with the pack.

However, of late Kane Williamson has played some crucial T20 knocks for the Kiwis and also had the opportunity to lead the SRH side in the IPL owing to the absence of David Warner.‎ With the added responsibility of being captain, Williamson has still managed to score runs for New Zealand in both Test and One Day cricket.

Even though he has a T20 average of just 31.33, his test average of 50.62 and ODI average of 46.88 shows just why he will be the main man for New Zealand in the upcoming World Cup in 2019.

Here, we can stick our neck out and say that Williamson will finish as one of the best Test batsmen from this generation. Williamson's batting is purists delight, with his class strokeplay blending nicely with his footwork and gritty temperament. It is time that we give Kane Williamson his due.
