Meanwhile. Quinton de Kock was rightly named the ODI player of the year—he was still a few months short of 24 when the voting period ended—making the youngest to win the prize. De Kock’s rise over the last 18 months is even more staggering considering the world-class talent that he shares the South African dressing-room with in limited-overs cricket anyway. He’s outscored everyone from AB de Villiers to Hashim Amla. Only Englishmen Joe Root and Alex Hales scored more than his 793 runs at 56.64 during the voting period but de Kock has clearly been the most influential ODI batsmen in the circuit. He also accounted for 15 dismissals to boot from behind the wicket. He has already added significantly to that tally in the three months since September this year, which has also seen his rise as a Test batsman.
