When Quinton de Kock came into the South African side, he was looked as the heir apparent to the great Mark Boucher.
In his last years as an international cricketer, Boucher was not included in the ODI XIs, as the talismanic AB de Villiers kept wickets. De Kock came into the squad and immediately made an impact with his batting. Pushed up the order to open the batting, De Kock, made an instant impact making four ODI hundreds in his first 16 ODIs. What’s more three of those hundreds came in three back to back matches against India.
