With these two centuries, his number of Test centuries has increased to 31. However, he could not break Sachin Tendulkar's record.

Kane Williamson has signaled his return to form by scoring centuries in both innings against South Africa. For him, the last few months were spent recovering from injury. But now he has made a strong return to the field. Kane Williamson scored 109 runs in the second innings against South Africa.

Earlier in the first innings, Kane Williamson scored 118 runs off 289 balls. With this, Kane Williamson has become the fifth New Zealand batsman to score a century in both innings of a Test match.

However, Kane Williamson missed out on breaking Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar's record of fastest 31 centuries in Tests. Sachin completed his 31st Test century in 165 innings. While Williamson has done this in the 170th Test innings. However, he equaled Steve Smith. Smith also scored his 31st century in the 170th innings itself.

Kane Williamson's century in the second innings against South Africa is his sixth century in the last 6 Tests. Out of these 6 centuries, he has scored five centuries in his home ground i.e. New Zealand.
