Williamson made his international debut in 2010. He continued to score runs in the following years, but not at the high level that he would anticipated. That changed in 2014 when he broke a slew of records during an ODI series against India at home. He became only the second batsman in ODI history (after Yasir Hameed) to score fifty or more in each of the five games.
