2 - Quinton de Kock (South Africa - wk)

Quinton de Kock is probably coming the closest to emulating the legendary Adam Gilchrist. Some of the feats he's accomplished at such a young age are unfathomable, and there's no surprise he's already being considered a future great.

An asset with both the bat and gloves, Quinton has become an integral part of Cricket South Africa's set up across all formats. Gifted with a natural flair, his aggressive stroke making accompanied with the ability to shift gears when needed, separates him from the rest.

In regard to his exploits behind the stumps, his impeccably quick hands and extreme levels of fitness, have seen him pull off stunners from time to time, creating an opportunity out of nothing.
