List of international cricket centuries by Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson is an international cricketer who represents the New Zealand national cricket team. As of January 2021, he is the captain of the team in all three formats—Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I). A right handed top order batsman, he has scored 37 centuries—24 in Tests and 13 in ODIs—as of January 2021. In January 2015, former New Zealand cricketer Martin Crowe noted that, "we're seeing the dawn of probably our greatest ever batsman" in Williamson.[1]

Williamson made his ODI debut against India in August 2010 and scored his first century two months later when he made 108 against Bangladesh; New Zealand lost the match by nine runs. His 69-ball 100 not out—made against Zimbabwe in October 2011—is the fourth fastest ODI century by a New Zealander.[lower-alpha 1] His highest score of 148 came against the West Indies in the 2019 World Cup.

Williamson scored a century on his debut Test match against India in November 2010; he was the eighth New Zealander to achieve this feat.[3] His highest score of 251 was made against West Indies at Seddon Park, Hamilton in December 2020. He became the sixth player to score 10 Test centuries before the age of 25 when he made 132 against England at Lord's.[lower-alpha 2] In August 2016, he became the fastest and youngest player to score centuries against all Test-playing nations in the format at the time.[lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4] As of January 2021, he has the most Test centuries for New Zealand.[6]

Williamson has played 62 T20Is since his debut in October 2011 and is yet to score a century in the format; his highest score of 95 was made against India in January 2020.[7]
