By IANS News November 02, 2025 • 14:26 PM View: 246

ICC T20 World Cup: Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan praised New Zealand great Kane Williamson, who has announced his retirement from T20I cricket, as a 'calm storm' of the shorter format for his composed and graceful batting.

Williamson retires with immediate effect after playing 93 T20I matches for New Zealand and scoring more than 2500 runs in the shortest format. He will continue to participate in Test and ODI cricket.

Dhawan, who was Williamson's teammate during his stay in IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, shared on X, "Bro #KaneWilliamson, what a calm storm you’ve been in T20Is! Always admired the way you led with composure and batted with grace. Wishing you happiness and success in every innings beyond this format!"
