#1 Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock has been one of the most consistent players in South Africa’s recent past and he will be the biggest key to success for their team in the World Cup 2019. The 26-year-old left-handed batsman opens the inning for South Africa and is very aggressive from the start.
de Kock was possibly the only South African player to show some fight in the first match against England as they went down by a big 104-run margin. He was the top-scorer for their team with 68 runs and was the only player who looked comfortable against the England attack. In the second match, he was was run out cheaply for 23 runs.
The quality that de Kock brings to the table is unparalleled. In 12 matches against India, he averages 66.38 and has scored five centuries and one half-century and in seaming conditions, de Kock will be banked on to produce the goods.
