Quintonde Kock
A left-handed wicketkeeper-batter with 161 one-day internationals for South Africa and franchise spells in India, now listed with Barbados Royals.
Overview
Quinton de Kock, 33, keeps wicket and bats left-handed. In franchise cricket his teams include Barbados Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, and he has played in the Indian Premier League. South Africa is the national side he represents.
One-day internationals carry the bulk of his batting numbers: 161 matches, 7,123 runs. The path there began with Highveld Lions on the domestic circuit, and franchise cricket soon followed, taking him to India for spells with several clubs.
Watch how he handles both jobs in the same match. Keeping wicket demands concentration for an entire innings, after which he is expected to score runs. Franchise spells with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians have kept him in demanding company.
