5 batsmen who could break Virat Kohli's records

#3 Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock has been a prolific and exciting ODI batsman so far in his career

No team knows how dangerous Quinton de Kock is as a batsman more than India, with the South African having scored 5 hundreds against the Men in Blue in just a dozen matches. In terms of his comparison with Kohli, he is perhaps best endowed to produce the kind of enthralling performances that Kohli usually is known for.

Fierce when cutting the ball, majestic when driving and brutal when pulling, de Kock has been thrilling to watch so far in his 90-match ODI career. He is also one of a handful of batsmen to have scored three consecutive ODI hundreds.

His strike rate in terms of matches per hundred is up there with the best and he has raked up ODI tons faster than most other batsmen in the history of the game. If he hadn’t suffered a couple of dips in form during his young career, he could well have bettered his opening partner Amla’s set of records.

Unlike the two batsmen mentioned before, de Kock has the advantage of having age on his side. More than three years younger to Kohli, if he continues to retain his form and maintains consistency, there is no reason why he cannot give the Indian a run for his money by getting to major milestones in a shorter span of time. And with his batting style, he would be as exciting to watch as the Indian master.
