Kane Williamson gives a surprise to his 99-year-old fan
New Zealand cricket star Kane Williamson is widely known for his generosity and sportsmanship. His fans see him not only as a proficient cricketer but also as a role model for his honesty and humility. Williamson once again gave a glimpse of his kind-hearted attitude as he surprised his 99-year-old fan Muru on latter’s birthday.

The Black Caps cricket icon also gifted a signed bat to his special fan on behalf of all the New Zealand players who participated in the 2017 Test series against West Indies. Williamson spent some quality time with Muru and his daughter, Nalayani, who revealed that her father started loving the New Zealand skipper after he donated his match fee to terrorist victims in Pakistan in 2014.

During their interaction, Muru expressed his admiration for Williamson’s character, stating that he represents a typical Kiwi who doesn’t just play the game for winning but also for the love of the sport.

“He’s not only a cricketer, a man of character. He typically represents a real typical Kiwi. You (Williamson) have given cricket a new character. Not playing the game for winning,” Muru said while speaking to The NZ Project.

When the family of 99-year-old cricket superfan Muru reached out to NZ Cricket, they were hoping for a cheeky birthday autograph.
