**Hamilton, New Zealand:** New Zealand batting star Kane Williamson etched his name into cricket history during the third test against England, smashing a magnificent 156 runs in the second innings. This was his 33rd Test century, a feat achieved in a remarkable fashion.
Williamson’s innings marked a previously unseen achievement in the 147-year history of Test cricket: he became the first player ever to score five consecutive centuries at a single venue. His five centuries at Seddon Park in Hamilton span several years, starting with an unbeaten 200 against Bangladesh in 2019, followed by an unbeaten 104 against England in the same year, a 251 against the West Indies in 2020, an unbeaten 133 against South Africa in 2024, and now his latest 156 against England.
This achievement places Williamson at the top of an exclusive list of batsmen with the most consecutive centuries at a single ground, surpassing previous records held by players such as Mahela Jayawardene, Don Bradman, and several others who each managed four centuries at one venue.
Furthermore, Williamson’s 33rd century in his 186th Test innings places him third on the list of fastest to reach this milestone, surpassing Younis Khan. Only Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar reached 33 centuries in fewer innings.
