WATCH: Kane Williamson dons dhoti in Karachi ahead of Champions Trophy opener

The Champions Trophy is about to begin and there will be some iconic players who will feature in this edition of the tournament from each of the eight teams. The tournament kicks off with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand on February 19.

Though it will be Pakistan who will be home favourites, there are some big stars in the Kiwi team as well. One of the players to watch out for is legendary batter Kane Williamson who recently played a key role in winning the tri-series. Williamson is regarded as one of the best batters in modern-day cricket, known for his elegant strokeplay and ability to build an innings. Apart from that, he is known for his calm personality which the fans and experts appreciate. This was also seen in a recent video featuring the WTC 2021-23 champion.

Earlier today, Williamson was seen walking out in a unique attire donning a white dhoti and sandals. The video has also gone viral on social media and it surprised fans who saw the 34-year-old world-class batter in a traditional outfit. This was an avatar of Williamson that probably no one expected to see.
