New Zealand cricketer Kane Williamson has sparked a lively debate online after a video of him wearing what many initially thought was a dhoti surfaced on social media.

The video shows the 33-year-old in a traditional-looking outfit during his stay in Pakistan for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The attire, which consists of a grey t-shirt paired with a white, knee-length garment and flip-flops, has divided the internet. Some fans believe Williamson was sporting a dhoti, a traditional South Asian garment worn by many men in the region, while others suggest it may simply be a towel wrapped around his waist.

While some commenters expressed their admiration for the cricketer’s choice to embrace local customs, others pointed out that his attire may not necessarily be a dhoti, but something as simple as a towel wrapped around him.

In any case, the footage has caused a stir, leaving fans to question whether this was an intentional cultural gesture or a casual choice of attire.
