New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson turns 30 today. The captain earned respect after the epic final battle between England and the BlackCaps during the ICC World Cup.
A true gentleman of the sport, but not many know about Williamson's guitar skills.
With the bat, the 30-year-old has 34 international centuries for New Zealand with a Test average of 50.99 and an ODI batting average of 47.48, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper is very impressive with a guitar in his hand as well.
However, his guitar is unlike everyone else's. On Williamson's birthday, ICC took to Twitter and shared a video of him showing off his skills with the strings while playing a 'bat guitar' - a guitar custom made which looks like a bat for him.
"Happy birthday, Kane Williamson – smooth with the bat, smooth with the bat guitar," ICC wrote on Twitter.
HERE IS THE VIDEO:

After a long time away from the cricketing pitch due to the coronavirus lockdown protocols, Kane will be back in action again in the IPL 13.
The 2020 edition of the IPL will be played in the UAE from September 19 - November 10.
The IPL's Governing Council (GC) met on Sunday via video-conference to discuss issues pertaining to the IPL 2020 edition. The 13th edition of the T20 tournament will be staged at three venues (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah) in the UAE.
