The batter and captain Kane Williamson has been instrumental to New Zealand&#8217;s recent success in international cricket. Williamson has been the most reliable and consistent batter for any squad he has represented till date. The right-handed batter has the remarkable talent of batting according to the required situation and has bailed out his team numerous times in his career.

Williamson is a technically sound batter who owns a diverse batting arsenal. Apart from being adept against quick bowling, his remarkable skills include the ability to play spin effectively. He has also led New Zealand to an ICC Trophy, namely the WTC Finals. His captaincy abilities are regarded as among the best in modern cricket era.

Here are the five best knocks by Kane Williamson in the year 2021:

1. 85 against Australia, T20 World Cup 2021 Finals

In the World T20 Finals against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/australia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a>, the New Zealand captain showcased his best form, slamming 85 off just 48 balls. Williamson redeemed himself in the finals after a lacklustre batting performance earlier in the tournament and destroyed a quality Australian attack. He showed his attacking prowess by taking on Mitchell Starc, arguably the best white-ball Australian bowler in that lineup.

New Zealand got off to a sluggish start, with Daryl Mitchell out early and Martin Guptill unable to middle the ball. Williamson took his time settling into the crease and then went on a rampage in the 11th over of the innings, hitting Mitchell Starc for 19 runs. He then kept the momentum going by hitting Starc for 22 runs in his next over, rallying his side to a formidable 172-run total.

In his innings, Williamson smashed ten fours and three sixes and established himself as the primary aggressor against pace bowling. He took his time with Zampa before unleashing his best against the other bowlers. It was the highest score by a captain in the World T20 Finals. Despite the fact that New Zealand lost the match, this innings is remembered as one of the most memorable in a Final and has become one of his career highlights.

2. 49 and 52* against India, WTC Finals

In the inaugural World Test Championship Finals versus India in June 2021, Kane Williamson was at his absolute best. Despite the fact that his scorecard didn&#8217;t look particularly spectacular, his performances helped New Zealand win their first ICC title in the game&#8217;s history. In the first innings of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a>&#8216;s batting, Williamson hit a vital 49 runs, then followed with a brave 52* off just 89 balls to comfortably chase the target of 139 runs in just two sessions.

Williamson smashed 49 runs off 177 balls to demolish India&#8217;s fearsome pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma. He also played with finesse, elegantly countering Ashwin&#8217;s several variations. In the first innings of the Finals, his temperament to stay firm and block the good balls allowed New Zealand to build a lead against India.

After that, he continued his rich vein of form with a 52* from just 89 deliveries. With New Zealand losing two quick wickets and Ashwin looking dangerous with the ball, this innings was even more crucial. Williamson, along with Ross Taylor, paid respect to Ashwin and capitalised on other bowlers. This innings came on the sixth (reserve) day of the Test match, emphasising its significance in a situation where the pitch had already seen enough wear and tear after five days.

3. 238 against Pakistan, Christchurch

The 2020-21 Pakistan series at home was a dream series for the right-handed batter. He scored massive amount of runs, which led him to become the ‘Player of the Series’ in those games. He struck an unbelievable 238 off 364 balls and notched up his fourth double century in the longest format of the game.

Williamson&#8217;s innings featured 24 boundaries and he took advantage of his good fortune by being dropped three times during his innings. His 369-run partnership with Henry Nicholls was New Zealand&#8217;s highest fourth-wicket stand in Test matches. New Zealand scored a massive total of 659 runs thanks to this partnership, and they went on to win the match by an innings and 176 runs.

He had previously struck another century in the first Test match, which helped New Zealand win a tight contest by 101 runs. He hit two straight hundreds in the series, and his gallant knocks propelled him to the top of the ICC Test rankings.

4. 66(51) against Delhi Capitals, Chennai:

When every other batter, including Indians, were struggling on a slow and sluggish Chennai pitch, some batters including Kane Williamson paved the way to score on these pitches. One of these innings came against the Delhi Capitals, which was hailed as Kane&#8217;s masterclass, despite the fact that <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SRH</a> lost in the Super Over. In the IPL&#8217;s 2021 season, SRH had a horrible season, with Williamson as their sole bright spot.

He scored 66 (51) in a game where other batters struggled to accelerate. On a sluggish Chennai pitch that continued to slow down as the ball became older, a bowling attack comprising of Kagiso Rabada, R Ashwin, Axar Patel and Amit Mishra was always difficult to face. Williamson took some time to settle in, but once he did, he smashed shots all over the park against the Delhi bowlers.

Despite no support from the other end, his knock contained eight boundaries and helped SRH equal the target. Despite the fact that it occurred in a losing cause, this knock was one of the highlights of SRH&#8217;s disappointing campaign in 2021.

5. 51(41) against Rajasthan Royals, Dubai:

When SRH was struggling to win even a single game in the second half of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> 2021 in the United Arab Emirates, Williamson along with Jason Roy paved the way to a successful run chase against the Rajasthan Royals. Williamson batted brilliantly in support, scoring 51 off 41 deliveries to help SRH chase down the target of 166 runs.

While the highlight of his innings was milking singles and doubles off the opposition bowlers, he became aggressive at the proper moment. He scored five fours and a single six, and he ably assisted Jason Roy in completing the run chase in just 18 overs.

In terms of performance and management, SRH had a terrible season. They mistreated David Warner, prompting Williamson to assume command of the team for the remainder of the tournament. They also dropped a number of key players, leaving the squad fully reliant on Williamson for run scoring.
