IPL 2018: 6 possible batsmen who could solve Royal Challengers Bangalore's opening dilemma 

Quinton de Kock :

Quinton de Kock is a rare talent from South Africa who is often compared with players like Adam Gilchrist and Kumar Sangakkara. He is not only a great batsman but also a sharp wicketkeeper. He scored three consecutive centuries against India in the ODI series which was held in February 2018. He grabbed the limelight among IPL teams in Champions League T20 2012 where he scored an unbeaten match-winning inning of 51 against the Mumbai Indians.

In the 2013 auction, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, the Delhi Daredevils picked him in the 2014 auction and he continued to represent the franchise until last season. This year, he was picked by RCB for a price of Rs. 2.8 crores.

He has scored 726 runs in 26 IPL matches at a strike rate of 132.24. He also scored a century and five fifties in these 26 matches.
