The debate about who is the best white ball player in the world is one that continues to spark passionate discussions among cricket fans and experts alike. While many names come to mind, this is one title that remains elusive to any individual. But, in New Zealand Kane Williamson is now weighing in on the debate, sharing his personal pick of the best white ball player of the moment.
Kane Williamson chose his choice
Williamson, known for his composed and classy approach to the game, had no hesitation in naming his Durban’s Super Giants teammate, Heinrich Klaasenas the best white ball player in the world.
“Heinrich Klaasen is clearly the best player in the world in my eyes,” said Williamson in a recent chat quoted by TOI.
Williamson emphasized the importance of teamwork and strategy when playing on challenging surfaces. He acknowledged Klaasen’s great ability and potential to dominate, but stressed that on difficult pitches, it is important for the team to support him collectively. Instead of relying solely on individual brilliance, Williamson stressed the need for the team to complement Klaasen’s strengths, using him strategically to maximize his impact.
“But in some difficult parts it’s just about complimenting each other as a unit. We know how much damage he can do, so we try to use him as much as we can,” added Williamson.

Williamson’s batting brilliance in SA20
While Klaasen is highly regarded by Williamson, the former New Zealand captain is no stranger to himself. In the ongoing SA20, Williamson showed his own form with the bat, playing four matches and amassing 107 runs at an average of 53.50. His strike rate was also impressive at 117.58, with a top score of 60 runs. This strong performance further cemented his reputation as one of the most consistent and reliable white ball players in the world. His ability to adapt to different conditions and play under pressure makes him one of the top contenders in the format.
High expectations in the Champions Trophy
Looking ahead, fans and analysts alike are expecting big things from Williamson in the future ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As the senior batter in New Zealand’s side, Williamson looks set to lead his team to success with his batting prowess. His calm demeanor and ability to perform in high-pressure situations make him a key figure in New Zealand’s title quest. Fans will be hoping to see the same level of consistency and composure from him in the Champions Trophy, as they expect a stellar campaign from one of the best in the business.
