Why Kane Williamson ranks #46 in Cricket
Kane Williamson ranks 46th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 592nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 82, Honours 78, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2010–present with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 9200, test centuries 33, test matches 105, odi runs 6800.
Immediately ahead sits Ben Stokes on 84.2, a gap of 1.8 points. Directly behind is Babar Azam on 83.2. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
