Best XI across all formats in 2019
One of the biggest challenges of modern-day cricket is to adapt to different formats and continue to be consistent and successful in each one of them.
7. Quinton de Kock (wk)
Quinton de Kock does bat at the top of the order in white-ball cricket but there was no other keeper had a better year than de Kock. He scored 1502 runs at an average of 48.45 in international cricket in 2019 which is the most for any South African batsman.
In fact, he was one of the only few shining lights in what was a disappointing year in South African cricket. De Kock scored consistently in all formats. While he made 584 runs at an average of 44.92 in Test cricket, he scored 774 runs at an average of 48.37. Moreover, he scored a couple of fifties in T20Is as well.
Thus, it was a good year for de Kock. He scored three hundreds and 13 half-centuries across formats. He topped every batting chart for South Africa and was the only wicket-keeper batsman who performed consistently across formats.
