Career
Kane Williamson is the most technically compact of his batting generation, working the ball into gaps with minimal movement and almost no risk. He is New Zealand's leading Test run-scorer and has done it in conditions that consistently favour bowlers.
As captain he led New Zealand to the inaugural World Test Championship title in 2021 and to two consecutive World Cup finals, including the 2019 final decided on boundary count. His conduct after that match, and his refusal to complain about the result, became as widely discussed as the cricket.
Highlights
- Captained New Zealand to the inaugural World Test Championship title in 2021
- New Zealand's leading run-scorer in Test cricket
- Led New Zealand to consecutive World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019
- Won the IPL as captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016
Overview
What the figures show
Nine IPL seasons, from 2015 to 2024, stand behind Kane Williamson's 2,128 runs in the competition. The best of the seasons was 2018 — 735 runs, 418 more than the next-best campaign. 89 in 2017 remains the biggest single innings of it. Fifty has been passed eighteen times. That strike rate of 125.6 is 9.8 below the 135.37 median for the 182 batters with 300 or more IPL balls in this data. Fours and sixes account for roughly 53% of the total — 185 and 64 of them.
The clubs, in order: Sunrisers Hyderabad (2015–2022) and Gujarat Titans (2024). Most of the runs, 2,101 of them, came in the Sunrisers Hyderabad years. There is no IPL cricket on the record in 2023.

Where these figures come from
Sources for this profile
- IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
- International figures computed from Cricsheet ball-by-ball data, used under the Open Data Commons Attribution License 1.0.
- Date of birth, playing style and photograph come from a third-party player feed, matched by name.
How the numbers are derived
- A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
- Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
- Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
- An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
