Speculation is growing that Kane Williamson may step away from chasing the 10,000-run milestone in Test cricket. The New Zealand great could follow a path similar to Virat Kohli, prioritising workload and longevity as his Test future remains under discussion. When Virat Kohli walked away from Test cricket about seven months ago, he left the game just 770 runs shy of that magical 10,000-run mark. He’s 35, and lately, he’s been talking about taking things “series by series.” That’s raised some real questions about whether he’ll actually get to 10,000 Test runs. Like, you play one Test and you're pretty stoked and then you hang around for a bit and then you have other conversations like maybe the question you were asking [10,000 Test runs].
