Speaking of Kane Williamson’s captaincy, he had led the Kiwi Team to some of the most glorious achievements in international cricket. Following Brendon McCullum’s legacy of the 50-over World Cup 2015, Kane led New Zealand to the historic and thrilling final of the 50-over World Cup 2019. In this match, they lost to the hosts England by the barest of the margins as the match ended in a tie two times on the same day.
Later on, the Blackcaps ended their international trophy draught under Kane’s leadership in the World Test Championship 2021 final against India. In this first-ever championship in the history of the game, Kane Williamson’s men outplayed the Virat Kohli-led Team India by a big margin of 8 wickets in the final.
Notably, the Tauranga veteran had captained New Zealand in 196 international matches; in these matches, they won 101 matches and lost 80 matches whereas 8 matches were drawn and two ended in a tie. Apart from this, 5 matches ended up without any result when the 32-year-old was leading the Blackcaps.
