Quinton de Kock

A batsman who causes mayhem with an innocuous-looking baby face. de Kock is a great mix of elegance and power.

South Africa was chasing 295 to win against Australia at Centurion during 2016. It was a good wicket to bat on and de Kock made full use of it.

He scored 178 runs from just 113 balls with 11 towering sixes. de Kock's domination was evident from the fact that South Africa chased down the target in just 36.2 overs.


#3 Adam Gilchrist (172)

Australia v Sri Lanka - Commonwealth Bank Series

Original super-batsman of the wicketkeeping community, Gilchrist used to open for Australia in one-day cricket.

Gilchrist scored his 9,619 runs from 287 matches at a superb strike rate of 96.94 with 16 centuries.

It was at Hobart in 2004 when Gilchrist got stuck into a weak Zimbabwe team and scored his highest ODI score of 172 from 126 balls. Australia won the match by 148 runs.
