Kane Williamson Becomes First New Zealand Player To Score 9,000 Test Runs
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has scripted history after becoming the first Kiwi batter to complete 9,000 Test runs.
The dependable batter achieved the feat on Saturday during the first Test against England at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Williamson, making his comeback after recovering from a groin injury that ruled him out of the India Test series, reached the milestone during New Zealand's second innings on the third day of the match.
The 34-year-old completed the landmark figure in 103 Tests, making it the joint third-fastest alongside Kumar Sangakkara and Younis Khan to 9,000 Test runs. Australia's Steve Smith is the fastest batter to reach the feat after touching the milestone in his 99th Test to surpass Brian Lara's 101 Tests record.
