Kane Williamson is the most important player for New Zealand. As a batter, the 32-year-old can win matches by himself in any format. Although Williamson is a defensive batter, he has shown numerous times how he can change the gears when necessary.

But it is the captaincy of Williamson which will be crucial for New Zealand. The Tauranga-born cricketer is a great captain and the leader of the pack. By nature, Williamson is an attacking captain, very much like his predecessor Brendon McCullum. The great Kiwi can inspire his team to win matches for him, by his calm and composed nature.

While calmness has been the philosophy of Williamson all his life, it is interesting how dangerous he can be as a player. In the 2019 ODI World Cup, he showed what he can do with the bat at the highest level. Even in captaincy, he was appreciated by all. Despite New Zealand’s inability to win the tournament, Kane Williamson was awarded the Player of the Tournament for his batting and leadership.

Quick recovery from Kane Williamson

Come 2023, New Zealand is missing the services of their talisman, as the great player got injured in the first match of the Indian Premier League 2023 against Chennai Super Kings. The Gujarat Titans player was ruled out of IPL 2023 for the entire season. The injury was serious, and Williamson got treatment soon.

While many predicted Williamson to miss a lot of matches due to the recovery period, including the high-profile tournament like ODI World Cup 2023, recent reports have suggested a quick recovery of Williamson. Recently, Williamson posted a video of him returning to normalcy. The reports now suggest that he might recover quicker than expected.

If everything goes well, New Zealand can expect their captain to be back for the tournament, which would be a massive boost for them. The management is not hurrying up the process of recovery but is ready to provide all the necessary arrangements for their captain.

Here's how the fans reacted to the news:
