BJ Watling and Williamson scored a record partnership of 365 which helped NZ to secure their 2nd win the series and also whitewash the lankans.
"Its's hard to put on his shoulders while the guy is so young, but I firmly believe Kane could go down as New Zealand's greatest ever batter," McCullum said. "He is a phenomenal talent and such a level-headed guy, who just thinks first and foremost about the team and how he can contribute. He's ticking of some amazing statistics along the way and he's doing it in quite a strong leadership position within our group as well.
Williamson made his test debut at the age of 20 against India in India, where he scored a scintillating 131 against the likes of Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha. Its hard for a new comer to face these quality spinners especially on a turning tracks. Kane showed maturity at very young age.
