Five players to watch out for in Champions League T20

Big Bash League - Sixers v Heat

4. Quinton de Kock (Highveld Lions, wicket-keeper batsman)

CRICKET-SRI-RSA

In March this year, the 20-year-old left-handed wicket-keeper batsman hammered 97 runs off just 61 balls as he piloted his side into the finals of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge with a 54-run win over the Dolphins. He did one better by playing a spirited knock of 44 in order to win the trophy for his side and secure a place in the 2013 CLT20.

de Kock’s batting style is very well suited to the slam-bang format: aggressive, hard and all around the wicket. Mumbai Indians will never forget his innings in the previous edition – he took the game away from them with a brutal partnership with Neil McKenzie. He is also athletic behind the stumps, although Thami Tsolekile has been the first-choice keeper for the side.

The Lions have a good chance of winning the trophy this time around, since de Kock has also played in the 2013 IPL for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is certainly a great find for the side!
