Unlike in limited-overs cricket, Quinton de Kock bats in the middle-order in Tests. And he hasn’t let his team down by any means. The southpaw averages 38.77 in Tests to go with five centuries and 19 half-centuries.
The Gauteng-born is someone, who doesn’t quite like to bog down, and rather prefers to dictate terms to the opposition. It can be comprehended from his strike-rate of 72.21. With him as a partner, batsmen generally don’t need to step on the gas as runs flow from the other end.
Overall, the 26-year-old likes facing the Indian attack with six of his international tons coming versus them. In his maiden Test innings on India soil, De Kock racked up 111 runs on a tricky surface in Visakhapatnam. Though he failed in the rest of the series last year on India tour, De Kock’s approach of going slam-bang from the word go can certainly put any opposition under pressure.
