Kane Williamson retires: Check his numbers in T20I cricket

Kane Williamson played 93 T20Is for New Zealand from 2011 to 2024.

Senior New Zealand Cricket Team batter Kane Williamson announced his retirement from T20I cricket on Sunday, November 2. But much for the fans’ fortunate, the right-handed batsman confirmed that he will continue to represent the national side in ODIs and tests, and will also feature in franchise T20 leagues.

The 35-year-old made his T20I debut in a clash against Zimbabwe in October 2011 and played his last game against Papua New Guinea during ICC T20 World Cup 2024. During his 13-year-long career, the former New Zealand captain played 93 games and made a massive impact.

At an average of 33.44, Williamson piled up 2575 runs in 90 innings, retiring as the second-highest run-scorer for New Zealand after Martin Guptill (3531). He hammered 18 half-centuries during his career, with his highest score being 95 runs against India. After Guptill (22), he holds the record for most half-centuries for the national side in T20Is.

Notably, Williamson is the most successful captain for New Zealand. He led the team to 39 victories across 75 games from 2012 to 2024. He led BlackCaps to the semi-finals in two ICC T20 World Cups in 2016 and 2022. His biggest achievement as T20I captain was leading the side to the finals of the T20 World Cup 2021, where the BlackCaps lost to Australia and finished as runners-up.

On that note, below are Williamson’s numbers in T20I cricket.
