Kane Williamson is going through a purple patch! He achieved a remarkable feat during the second Test match against South Africa in Hamilton by becoming the fastest player to score 32 Test centuries.
Williamson's magnificent innings also helped the Kiwis to win a Test series against South Africa for the first time in history. With that ton, he had scored seven centuries in his last seven Test matches.

The former Kiwi skipper was being considered by many as the greatest among the 'Fab Four' comprising Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Joe Root. Until, Australia showed up at his doorstep!
Although in the first innings, he was the victim of a bizarre run out after a mix-up between him and non-striker Will Young, in the second he was dismissed for nine runs by Nathan Lyon. And a bit of digging revealed a damning stat about the batsman.
