Kane Williamson matches Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag with his sixth test double-hundred against Sri Lanka.

 On March 18, former New Zealand Test captain Kane Williamson notched his sixth double-hundred in the most basic of formats. The right-handed batter accomplished the accomplishment in game two of the current two-game Test series against Sri Lanka at Wellington's Basin Reserve.

Williamson also shared the record for the most double hundreds in Test cricket with Marvan Atapattu, Virender Sehwag, Javed Miandad, Younis Khan, Ricky Ponting, and Javed Miandad. The legendary Don Bradman, who ended his career with 12 200+ scores in only 52 matches, currently holds the record for the most double hundreds in Test matches.

Williamson batted on the opening day at Stumps and was undefeated at 26. The veteran reached his century in the first portion of the second day's play after 171 balls. He then needed 285 balls to achieve his double century.

Williamson also had a 363-partnership with Henry Nicholls, who amassed 100 as well. After scores of 251, 242 not out, and 238 against the West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, the 32-year-old batter recorded his fourth-highest total in Test cricket.

In the third and final play practice of the day, the batter from Tauranga was struck out while attempting to raise the stakes. Williamson attempted to drive Prabath Jayasuriya, a spinner, down the field, but he struck out to long on replacement Ramesh Mendis.

Williamson eventually scored 215 runs off 296 deliveries, using 23 fours and two sixes in the process. He played at a strike-rate of 72.63, which demonstrated how fluid he was throughout his innings.
