Beyond the numbers
Over 22,000 runs across all formats
Williamson has accumulated 22,163 runs across 471 matches at a batting average of 47.06. His career spans New Zealand internationals, the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad, the T20 Blast with Yorkshire, and franchise cricket across three continents.
Test average over 54 in 108 matches
In 108 Test matches Williamson averages 54.69, the strongest batting average across any of his formats. His 9,461 Test runs at a strike rate of 51.99 underline his standing as a cornerstone of New Zealand's long-form batting.
Seddon Park his most productive venue
At Seddon Park across 36 matches, Williamson averages 78.33 with 2,585 runs to his name. No other ground in his record comes close to that return, making it comfortably his most productive home base.
