Kane Williamson shares THIS unique record with IPL teammate David Warner in Test cricket

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been in sensational form in the ongoing New Zealand vs Pakistan Test series. The right-handed batsman, who led his side to a comprehensive win in the first Test by scoring a glorious 129 (1st innings), carried his staggering form into the New Year as he smashed the fourth double-century (238) of his career on Day 3 of the New Zealand vs Pakistan 2nd Test to help the hosts take command of the game. Not surprisingly, Williamson broke many records after his monumental effort to kickstart 2021 as the World's No.1 ranked Test batsman.
