Kane Williamson

Like always, Kane Williamson led from the front for New Zealand in 2018. The Kiwis were great on their home turf and also performed strongly away from home as well. Williamson scored 468 runs in 11 ODIs at a solid average of 46.80. In Test matches, New Zealand won 4 Test series in a row and Williamson was at the helm of their consistent success.

Williamson scored 651 runs in just 7 Test matches at a stellar average of 59.18. He is breathing on Kohli's neck in the ICC Test Rankings at number two. In T20Is which they played against Pakistan, West Indies, Australia and England, Williamson scored 251 runs in 11 innings at an average of 24.81 including a match winning 72 against England.
