Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan was amongst the initial ones to congratulate the New Zealand skipper and commented: “Congratulations and lots of love to you and your family.”
“Future WHITE FERN!” wrote the official manage of New Zealand’s women’s cricket group.
Williamson missed the second and final Test against West Indies which the Black Caps won at the Basin Reserve earlier this week to full the series white-wash. His profession-most effective score of 251 in the initial Test against the Jason Holder-led side had helped him to share the second spot with Virat Kohli in ICC Test rankings for batsmen. However, in the most current rankings which got updated on Tuesday, the New Zealand skipper has slipped to the third spot.
He is anticipated to return for the side for the final two T20Is of the 3-match series against Pakistan starting Friday.
The 30-year-old has so far played 81 Tests, 151 ODIs and 60 T20Is for New Zealand in which he has scored 6727, 6173 and 1665 runs respectively.
