New Zealand’s star batsman Kane Williamson is in excellent form these days. His bat talks a lot in Test cricket. Since he stepped down from the Test captaincy, his old form as a batsman has come to the fore again. Williamson has scored a double century in the second match of the current Test series against Sri Lanka. This is the 28th century entry of his Test career. Previously, Williamson had also scored a century in Christchurch, resulting in Sri Lanka’s defeat at the last ball of the Test Match. Not only that, before this series, Williamson also scored a century against England in Wellington. That is to say, he has scored three centuries in a row while performing the triple dhamaal.
