With AB de Villiers giving up the wicket-keeping gloves, de Kock came into prominence after scoring three centuries in three ODIs against India in late 2013. Since then, he has become a permanent member of the South African line-up. His consistency at the top of the order has been brilliant. At 24, de Kock has already scored 12 ODI hundreds (youngest player to do so). He has scored more than 3500 at an average of 43.44 with a superb strike-rate of almost 94.

His ability to strike the ball and stunning glove-work have already earned him comparisons to greats such as Adam Gilchrist and Mark Boucher. His consistent exploits with the bat, and behind the stumps, have brought him a long way and he definitely has the ability to join the ‘Big 4’.
