Players hell-bent on ending Kane Williamson's career forced him to do this in Hamilton Test.

Kane Williamson is currently counted among the top batsmen in the world. He dominates especially in Test matches. Even the best bowlers kneel before him. But this 34-year-old Kiwi veteran batsman has been troubled by England's Matthew Potts. Potts has increased the difficulties for Williamson, who is playing in the last phase of his career. In the Hamilton Test too, he forced Williamson to shoot himself in the foot. Due to this, he got out on 44 runs and missed the half-century.

Williamson has been out 4 times

Matthew Potts made his Test debut for the England team in 2022. Since then, he has played 9 Test matches so far. At the same time, he is playing the 10th match in Hamilton. During this time, Williamson and he have faced each other 5 times, in which he has had the upper hand. During this, Potts bowled 50 balls to Williamson and dismissed him 4 times. At the same time, the Kiwi batsman could score only 11 runs.

Only 5 bowlers in the world have dismissed Williamson 4 or more times in Tests. This includes India's R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha. Both have sent him to the pavilion 5 times each. Apart from these two, West Indies' Kemar Roach has dismissed him 5 times. In Tests, Williamson has been dismissed the most by England's James Anderson 9 times and Stuart Broad 6 times.

forced to get out

During the ongoing third test in Hamilton, Matthew Potts' dominance was seen against Kane Williamson. Potts forced him to make a mistake, due to which he got out. Actually, in the 59th over, this great New Zealand batsman defended Potts' ball but it went backwards. Williamson tried to stop it from going to the stump. He was not successful in this, on the contrary, the ball hit his pad and went to the wicket and he had to go back to the pavilion.

Williamson was batting after scoring 44 runs in 87 balls. However, luck did not favour him and he had to return before scoring fifty. After his dismissal, New Zealand started losing wickets in quick succession. It started losing wickets at regular intervals. Due to this, the New Zealand team, which was looking in a strong position at one time, could score only 315 runs at the loss of 9 wickets by the end of the first day's play.
