ICC Champions Trophy: Top 5 run getters of 2017 from the participating nations

#2 Quinton de Kock (South Africa) - 560 runs

de Kock's starts will be vital for South Africa in the Champions Trophy

Matches - 13, Runs - 526, Avg - 43.83, SR - 98.87, HS - 109

The wicket-keeper batsman from South Africa has been a prolific run scorer for his side in all formats of the game. He excelled in all conditions in 2016 and the trend has continued this year with runs coming pretty quick off his blade.

A flamboyant batsman, Quinton de Kock, slammed a fine 178 - his career best score - against the Aussies in an ODI late in 2016.

He started 2017 more quietly in the series against Sri Lanka with three low scores but soon enough made up for it with a half-century and century in the last two games of the series.

It remains his only hundred in 2017, but he has racked up as many as 5 half-centuries in 13 games. There is no doubting that South Africa will look to de Kock to provide them with good starts in the Champions Trophy.
