Profile

Quinton De Kock is a South African International cricketer, who used to represent the Titans in domestic level. He has played for the national SA team since 2012 and considered one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen of the world. He is compared with one of the most appreciated wicket-keeper-batsmen Adam Gilchrest for his wonderful wicket keeping skills and batting bravado.
He played for the South African Under-19 team and made his impression during the U19 World Cup before he was selected for the national team. This 26-years old left-handed batsman became legendary by hitting a purple patch in the middle of 2016 by scoring five fifty-plus in a row. Currently, he is playing with the Mumbai Indians team in the running IPL tournament.
