Quinton de Kock fired at all cylinders in the recent ODI series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/aakash-chopra-picks-current-best-xi-to-have-risen-from-u19-cricket-excludes-indian-duo-of-jadeja-and-pant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> and he has been in terrific form the last few seasons of IPL. The South African left-hander has recently announced his retirement from the longer format and he will be available for the entire season which makes him one of the exciting options in the IPL 2022 mega auction. The 29-year-old has a lot to offer with the bat at the top and is one of the best wicket keepers going around as well.

De Kock&#8217;s overall IPL numbers have been really good with 2256 runs in 77 IPL games at an average of 31.3 and a strike rate close to 131. He hit 15 fifties and one century in his overall IPL career after starting in 2013 and has played for various franchises already. He was not retained by the Mumbai Indians franchise despite being one of the standout players in the last few seasons.

De Kock proved to be one of the pillars of the Mumbai Indians since he was traded from the Royal Challengers Bangalore and he finished with 503 runs in 16 games in IPL 2021 in the title-winning season for his franchise. He is expected to create a bidding war among the teams as he is listed in the Marquee list with the base price of 2 crore.

Let&#8217;s look at 3 teams that might target Quinton de Kock:

Royal Challengers Bangalore did pick him up in the mega auction in 2018 but traded him to the Mumbai Indians, where he managed to win two titles consecutively. RCB have retained the likes of Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Siraj so far ahead of IPL 2022 and they have been searching for explosive openers over the years. Aaron Finch, Josh Phillipe have all failed at the top for the RCB, and the time is up for the franchise to pick a reliable overseas opener at the top.

De Kock can be very effective in the powerplay and it will provide the luxury for Kohli to take his time and play the anchor innings that he is accustomed to doing well.

RCB do not have wicketkeepers among their retentions and De Kock is among the best in the business at the moment. He has been impressive with some quick stumping and is brilliant in taking flying catches. De Kock will definitely be in the plans for the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise as he can tick a lot of boxes for them.

Mumbai Indians have had a lot of match-winners in their side in the last two <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/">IPL</a> seasons especially and it whould have been very difficult for them in picking their four retentions ahead of IPL 2022. De Kock has served them really well in the last three seasons at the top. Rohit &#8211; De Kock pair is up the ladder in terms of consistency and contributions. They failed to retain the South African and they will hope to bring him back in the mix in the mega auction.

Ishan Kishan can play the same role as the wicket-keeper and batter, but a lot of franchises will fight for the former as he is an Indian contingent and it will be wiser for Mumbai Indians to go with de Kock rather than Ishan considering the competition for the players. De Kock knows the side&#8217;s atmosphere really well and he can be a long time option for the Mumbai Indians.

Also, Mumbai will have to bring in an overseas dasher at the top and will need a wicketkeeper on their side with their retentions of Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard forming the middle order. De Kock will be one of the top options to satisfy the criteria and it won&#8217;t be a surprise if the 29-year-old is brought back by his previous franchise.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is a franchise that has been familiar for De Kock as he started his IPL career with them in 2013 after which he moved to the Delhi side. The Orange army has let go one of the key players over the years in David Warner and they have opted for Kane Williamson to be captaining the side. This will mean that they will need a left-hand overseas option at the top to keep their plans going and De Kock will definitely fit into that criteria.

Also, Sunrisers will have to make sure that Williamson plays in the middle order as he can win games from a tough situation and his ability to keep a cool head, which will be definitely needed for the franchise moving forward. For this to happen, they will need a swashbuckling overseas batter at the top and they haven&#8217;t retained the likes of Johnny Bairstow, who had played his role really well.

The Indian wicket-keepers haven&#8217;t been suited to the plans of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-3-players-sunrisers-hyderabad-srh-should-have-retained-instead-of-the-current-retentions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> over the years and they would look at a wicket-keeping option who can bat at the top. The inclusion of De Kock will also help out his experience at the top as Sunrisers have gone in with retentions of uncapped youngsters like Abdul Samad and Umran Malik.
