Ranking 10 most dependable batters in Test history

6. Kane Williamson (New Zealand) 

Kane Williamson’s ability to score “Big Daddy” hundreds consistently has enabled him to become one of the greatest batsmen of this era. If we look into the facts that make him one of the greats of the game, we will encounter the fact that he has a terrific mental strength, and determination to defy all the odds. If we argue that why he is chosen ahead of Kohli, Williamson thrives in pressure situations and is more dependable than the Indian captain. Although Kohli might be the best in the world at the moment, the Kiwi skipper might overtake Kohli in terms of dependency. 

He has represented New Zealand in 83 Test matches and has scored over 7115 runs with an average of 52.12. He has scored over 24 Test centuries and has the highest score of 251 runs. Taling about his consistency, he has scored two double centuries within three weeks in this season. This feat is special given the fact that COVID-19 has affected the method in which cricket is being played. 

He made history when he was the chief architect of New Zealand’s first away Test series win over Pakistan in 49 runs. Kane scored 89 and 139 runs in the final Test and guided the team to victory. The year 2019 and 2020 was a magical one for the Kiwi captain. His consistent efforts have enabled him to make it to this list of the top 10 most dependable Test batsmen of all time.
