Kane Williamson surpassed Ross Taylor, ENG vs NZ: Kane Williamson fought alone against England in difficult circumstances, broke the biggest record with a fighting century – eng vs nz

Wellington: After England’s huge score, the New Zealand team, which kneeled in the first innings in front of amazing bowling, has retaliated. For New Zealand playing the follow-on, former captain Kane Williamson broke Ross Taylor’s biggest record by scoring a blistering century. He has now become the batsman with the most number of centuries for New Zealand. He was dismissed in this innings after scoring 182 runs in 282 balls with the help of 12 fours. His wicket was in the name of Harry Brook, whose ball was caught by Fox.

Williamson surpassed Taylor’s 7683 Test runs in trademark style at the start of the fourth day of New Zealand’s ongoing second Test against England in Wellington. New Zealand were forced to follow on after being bowled out for just 209 in their first innings. When Kane broke the record, Taylor tweeted his congratulations.

He wrote- Congratulations Kane for becoming the highest Test run-scorer for New Zealand. This achievement is a testament to your hard work and dedication to Test cricket, which I have known about for many years. There is much more here for you…. Please tell that Ross Taylor played his last Test match in 2022 against Bangladesh.

Williamson now has 26 Test centuries to his name. This is more than any New Zealand batsman. Not only this, in the current Fab Four, the former Kiwi captain is just one step behind Virat Kohli’s tally of 27 centuries, while Joe Root has 29 centuries. On the other hand, former Australia captain Steve Smith has 30 centuries to his name. Thus, the battle to be on top of the Fab Four has become even more interesting.
