How Kane Williamsons Retirement Feels Like the End of an Era
The retirement of Kane Williamson is feeling like the end of a golden era for the cricket fans. Now two players from the Fab Four have retired from the format where they competed the most. Joe Root remains the only player among them who is active across all formats.
The cricket world saw another shocking retirement in the form of Kane Williamson. Yesterday, the New Zealand batsman announced his retirement from all formats of the game with immediate effect. This is not just a retirement, it is a void which remains hard to be filled in international cricket.
With Kane Williamson retiring, only one player from Fab Four remains active across all formats. And it is none other than Joe Root. Virat Kohli has retired from T20Is and Tests, and Steve Smith also announced his retirement from ODIs, after Australia was eliminated in the semi-final stages of the Champions Trophy.
And now it is Kane Williamson, who has not just retired from Test, but every single format of the game. His retirement has made a void in the game, as the Fab Four era officially comes to an end. Fans will now be eager to see who becomes the new Fab four of the game.
Our Take
Kane Williamson was a pillar in the game who shaped New Zealand cricket to a great extent. Fans were excited when they saw Williamson together with any one of the Fab four players, whether it was Kohli, Root, or even Smith. Even in his last Test match, he was playing against one of the Fab Four members, Joe Root.
