New Zealand’s Kane Williamson slammed an unbeaten century on Monday to guide his team to a six-wicket win over South Africa in the second match of the tri-series involving Pakistan in Karachi. During his knock, Williamson broke a notable Virat Kohli record as he became the second-fastest batter to score 7000 ODI runs.

Williamson reached the milestone in 159 innings, whereas the former India skipper had taken 161 innings to do so. Former South Africa batter Hashim Amla continues to lead that list, having got to the landmark in 150 innings.
