#4 Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock is a destructive left-handed opening batsman from South Africa and is also the captain of the T20 side. He bats very aggressively and is a sweet timer of the ball. His attacking approach in the power-play lays a good foundation for a huge total for his team.
De Kock has been one of the most consistent players for South Africa in the recent past. With Francois du Plessis not in the team, he is now their best batsman in the squad. Quinton enjoys a pretty good record against India. In four T20I matches, he has scored 153 runs at an average of 38.25.
The wicket-keeper has been playing in the IPL for six years and thus, he is quite familiar with the Indian conditions. He also won the IPL this year with the Mumbai Indians. His performance in the tournament was also pretty impressive as he scored 529 runs.
With the added responsibility of captaincy on his shoulders, it would be interesting to watch how De Kock performs in this series.
