New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been a central force in the team attaining the no.1 Test ranking for the first time, hitting triple figures in each of his last three matches, including two double-centuries. His stellar form has also seen him overtake India captain Virat Kohli and Australia’s Steve Smith to become the top-ranked batsman in the longest format of the game. Of course, the Kiwis skipper enjoys great fanfare, but on Wednesday, he found himself a new “big fan” in teammate and wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling.

Watling crashed Williamson’s press conference after New Zealand completed a series sweep against Pakistan at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch to ask him for an autograph.

“What’s going on?” Williamson asks, momentarily confused.

“Sorry, big fan,” Watling says as he hands him a pen and a jersey to sign.

“What is going on?”

Williamson scored 238 in Christchurch as New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by an inning and 176 runs.

New Zealand also saw crucial contributions from Henry Nicholls and Darryl Mitchell with the bat, while Kyle Jamies on starred with the ball.

Nicholls scored 157 while Mitchell hit his maiden Test century against a hapless Pakistan bowling attack.
