Ranking the top 10 cricketers in the world at the moment

#5 Kane Williamson

The Kiwi skipper is one of the most technically gifted batsmen.

Kane Williamson, just like Joe Root, is one of the most consistent performers for his team but does not make headlines like how Virat Kohli or Steve Smith does because of the fact that they are less flamboyant than the said duo.

At various points of time, even the greats such as Martin Crowe and Ian Chappel have ranked Kane among the top 4 cricketers in the world which also includes the above-mentioned trio. Such is the impact he has created.

The skipper of the New Zeland team since taking over the reins from Brendon McCullum has led the team to be one of the most consistent teams in all the formats and particularly perform well in the overseas conditions.

His rise through the ranks in the limited overs cricket particularly the T20s has been exemplary after being touted not suitable for the shortest format in his early days.
