Ranking the current captains in Test cricket
Leading a team in Tests isn't easy at all but some of them have mastered the art.
2. Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson was seen as a possible prospect for the New Zealand captain’s role when he started to perform regularly and became the mainstay of the Blackcaps batting. Having made his debut in 2010, it took Williamson a few years to set things straight in the limited-overs format. But he was performing really well for the side in Tests.
So, when Brendon McCullum decided to hang his boots, there was no one who was ready to wear the captain’s hat, other than Williamson. Under his captaincy so far, the New Zealand team has played 35 matches and won 21 out of them. The team has only lost eight of those matches while managing to draw six of them. The New Zealand team has been one of the strongest in their home conditions.
The team has stood up to every task and executed their A-game most of the time. Recently, New Zealand was elevated to the No.1 position in the ICC Test rankings. India has got close to them since, but there is no doubt that the side under Williamson has become a force to reckon with. New Zealand have also made it to the final of the World Test Championship.
