The achievements keep piling up for Black Caps captain Kane Williamson.
Fresh off leading New Zealand to the top test ranking for the first time, Williamson has created another first.
Williamson, who struck 238 in the second test win over Pakistan in Christchurch last week and a 2-0 series thumping, has earned the best ever-rating points by a New Zealand player.
He has reached 919 rating points, bettering his own mark of 915 in December 2018. ICC Cricket Hall of Famer Sir Richard Hadlee is the only other player from New Zealand to go past the 900-point mark, reaching a career-high 909 rating points in bowling in December 1985.
Williamson has enjoyed a sensational past month in test cricket. In the first test against the West Indies in Hamilton in December he struck 251, his highest test score.
The runs flowed for Williamson against Pakistan in the just completed two match test series, also hitting 129 in the Boxing Day test at Mount Maunganui.
Williamson also became a father for the first time in December with wife Sarah Raheem giving birth to a baby daughter.
