The debate on who is the best batsman in the world is one that continues to be debated among cricket fans and pundits alike. Although many names come to mind, it is a name that is not familiar to everyone. However, in New Zealand Kane Williamson he has now weighed in on the debate, sharing his picks for the best player of the season.
Kane Williamson makes his decision
Williamson, who is known for his talent and skill in the game, does not hesitate to name his fellow Super Giants from Durban, Heinrich Klaasenas the best football player in the world.
“Heinrich Klaasen is the best player in the world in my eyes,” said Williamson in a recent chat as reported by TOI.
Williamson highlighted the importance of teamwork and strategy when playing in difficult situations. He acknowledged Klaasen's ability and ability to dominate, but stressed that on difficult pitches it is important for the team to support him together. Rather than relying on individual talent, Williamson stressed the need for the team to adapt to Klaasen's abilities, and use him wisely to improve his skills.
“But in other situations it's just about complimenting each other as a team. We know what he can do, so we're just trying to use him as much as we can,” added Williamson.
