Black Caps captain Kane Williamson is having s dream run in the ongoing summer of New Zealand. After smashing a double hundred against West Indies followed by a century in the first Test against Pakistan, Williamson yet again showed his top-class batting as he slammed another ton in the ongoing second Test against💎 Mohamme𒊎d Rizwan and Co. at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
During the 72nd over of Kiwi innings bowled by Faheem Ashraf, Williamson guided the ball towards fine leg for a boundary and reached his Test career’s 24th century. He took just 35 balls to go from fifty to hundred.

Meanwhile, on Day 2, New Zealand have scored 284/3 in 83 overs. Williamson and Henry Nicholls are batting on 111 and 88 runs respectively.

Kane ‘Consist♛ent’ Williamson is simply superb 👏🐲 🙇♂️— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash)
One day up.. next day down.. Kane Williamson's masterclass leaves Pakistan in shambles. Noballs. Drops.. hopelessness all around.

Very benefit-of-hindsight tweet, but putting on Shan before tea really did get Wi🉐lliamson going.
Until then, he'd scored 21 off 72. Took 11 runs off the 5 balls Shan bowled to him, and has gone at better than a run a ball since.

Test runs since 2010 for all countries. Only Kohli and Sౠmith have more test centuries than Kane Williamson. Only Smith has a higher average.
