Top 5 ODI innings of Quinton de Kock

#1 178 vs Australia at Centurion, 2016

Quinton de Kock was absolutely ruthless in this innings

The first game of the 5-match series between Australia and South Africa was played at SuperSport Park, Centurion. South African skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and invited Australia to bat first.

With the help of George Bailey and John Hastings's half-centuries, Australia put up a decent total of 294 in their 50 overs. Little did they know that this score would prove to be much smaller than required.

With 295 runs to chase, South African openers Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw came out all guns blazing and in no time added 145 runs for the opening wicket. Even after the fall of Rossouw, QDK kept hammering the Aussie bowlers. He simply toyed with them and brought up his century in just 74 balls.

De Kock didn't stop there, and went on to score 178 - his highest individual score in ODIs. His sheer dominance over the Australians bowlers was something to behold.

His knock comprised 16 fours and 11 sixes. It was the innings of his life and wrapped the game almost single-handedly; South Africa won the match by 6 wickets with 82 balls to spare.
