In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Kane Williamson reached a monumental feat during his 100th Test match, emerging triumphant despite a modest score of 17 runs. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch witnessed Williamson's historic moment as he, alongside Tim Southee, etched their names among the elite players to achieve this milestone.

Despite a challenging start for the Kiwi team, bundled out for a mere 162 runs in their first innings, Williamson's journey in Test cricket has been illustrious. Having showcased his batting prowess in previous encounters, including a stellar performance against South Africa, Williamson's resilience shone through as he surpassed Virat Kohli's record in the World Test Championship run-scoring tally.

Kohli's absence from the ongoing Test series against England provided Williamson with an opportunity to ascend in the rankings. With a mere 15 runs needed to overtake Kohli's position, Williamson's consistency and skill propelled him to this prestigious achievement. His statistics speak volumes, boasting an impressive average and an array of centuries to his credit.

Despite falling short of a substantial score in his landmark Test, Williamson's legacy in cricket remains unparalleled. The relentless attack by Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc tested the Kiwi lineup, posing significant challenges on the opening day of the second Test. However, Williamson's resilience amidst adversity reflects his unwavering commitment to the sport.

As New Zealand faces formidable opposition from Australia, Williamson's leadership and batting prowess serve as pillars of strength for his team. With records tumbling and milestones conquered, Kane Williamson continues to etch his name in the annals of cricketing history, solidifying his status as one of the sport's modern legends.
