#4 Kane Williamson

The cool and calm customer at the office, Williamson is one from the old school of batting. Arguably, Williamson is one of the finest batsman produced by the BlackCaps after Martin Crowe.
Being such an important player for the Kiwis, he is the backbone in their batting in all the three formats of the game. His ability to play the anchor's role every time he steps on the field for New Zealand is the key behind his prolonged consistency at the highest level.
An average of nearly 47 in ODI format, Williamson plays a huge role in binding the batting order for the Kiwis. His steady approach with others playing the aggressor's role around him holds the key for New Zealand.
Currently, the 28-year old is ranked 8th in the ICC rankings for the ODI batsmen. He has the required ability to crack it down the throat of the top three or even claim the No.1 spot held by Virat Kohli.
