New Zealand became the new no.1 Test team in ICC rankings after routing Pakistan 2-0.
The new no.1-ranked Test batsman, Kane Williamson, scored a double century in New Zealand’s innings victory in the 2nd Test over Pakistan, as a result of which he also became the first captain to take New Zealand to the top of the ICC team rankings in Tests.
While addressing the media after an emphatic inning and 176 runs victory over Pakistan in Christchurch Test, Kane Williamson was interrupted by his teammate BJ Watling, who was looking for an autograph from the captain.
The 35-year-old wicket-keeper batsman went up to his skipper saying “Big fan” and asked him to sign his Test shirt. The little conversation went this way: "What's going on?" Williamson asks, momentarily confused. "Sorry, big fan," Watling says as he hands him a pen and a jersey to sign.
