Which modern batsman will surpass the great Tendulkar?

#6 Kane Williamson

The first book Williamson must have read would have been about good techniques for batting

One of the most aesthetically pleasing, textbooky batsman on earth, Kane Williamson would be the one I'd really hope to see crossing the landmark. Williamson is the most technically correct amongst everyone mentioned in the list, one of the prime reasons that has fetched him so much success. With 5157 runs from 127 matches, he averages a cracking 46.88. But there is a small problem.

With New Zealand playing fewer ODIs on an average each year than other countries, Williamson, the 28-year-old, would be able to manage approximately another 213 games in his remaining career should it last another 12 years. In that case, he would have to maintain a mind-boggling average of 62 while still getting older.

Considering New Zealand only play for 7-8 months, it is safe to say that Williamson will not get to the mark, despite the fact that he might get close. Let's give him a 2/10.

New Zealand does not play that much cricket to allow Williamson to finish the race
