Kohli, Root, Williamson, Smith. Who is the best batsman in the world?

3: Kane Williamson (New Zealand)

The 3rd best in the list, Kane Williamson, has still not reached the heights that he is capable of. Williamson has a fantastic technique and temperament and has managed to take his low risk, orthodox style of play into limited overs arenas with much success.

Williamson has an overall average of 42.83. He scores his international runs at a strike rate of 84.45 runs scored per 100 balls faced. He has scored a hundred every 6.56 games played so far in his international career.

Despite having similar stats to Smith, it is Williamson’s ability to produce results across all formats that puts him ahead.
