Despite century, Williamson rues missing out on more on challenging Sylhet pitch

New Delhi: Star batter Kane Williamson created history after smashing his 29th Test century on the second day of the 1st Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, on November 29. He has now become the first Kiwi batter to hit a century in four consecutive Tests and the second Kiwi batter to hit tons in three consecutive Test innings.

“Test century number 29 for Kane Williamson! He becomes the first New Zealand player to score a century in four consecutive Tests and the second New Zealand player, behind Andrew Jones, to score a century in three consecutive Test innings,” New Zealand Cricket tweeted from their official handle after Kane’s crucial ton.

Kane Williamson has also equaled Indian batter Virat Kohli’s Test century tally after he slammed his 29th red-ball ton. Williamson reached the tally of 29 Test tons in his 95th Test match, 16 fewer than Virat Kohli, who managed the Test hundred numbers in 111 innings playing against West Indies. Williamson also equalled the tally of legendary Don Bradman, who had 29 centuries from 52 Test matches at the time of his retirement.
