Top 5 "beards that are feared" in world cricket

4) Kane Williamson

A future Kiwi Great

The ethereally classy batsman from Tauranga, New Zealand doesn’t come with a technique which intimidates the opposition, but he is someone who can silently get under the skins of the rival teams.

Effortlessly New Zealand’s most versatile performer with the willow, Kane Williamson has stamped his authority on all the three formats.

Leave alone Tests and ODIs, he brings a sense of calmness to even T20 batting. Playing copybook cricket and yet having a strike rate of 124.29 in T20Is is a palpable manifestation of the class and caliber of the individual.

Records indeed speak for themselves and in Kane’s case, they have shone radiantly. Having already mounted along with Test centuries versus all other Test playing nations at a tender age of 25, shattering of further records by the vibrant Kiwi batsman is only a matter of time.

Never mind his artistic repertoire with the bat, he also acts as New Zealand’s man with the golden arm, churning out wickets at crucial junctures. He has all the potentialities to be addressed as one of the modern day greats by the time he reaches into his 30s.
