Top 5 highest scores by wicketkeepers in ODIs

Sangakkara ramps on his way to 169 vs South Africa in 2013

#2 Quinton de Kock, 178 vs Australia, 2016

De Kock became the fastest to 11 ODI centuries

The latest entrant to this list, Quinton de Kock, is one of the brightest young talents on display in world cricket, showing maturity way ahead of his age.

Short in height but quick on his feet, De Kock has no apparent weakness in his game, as displayed during his whirlwind knock against the Australians at Centurion last month, becoming the fastest ever to compile 11 ODI hundreds.

He reached his century in the 23rd over itself, pulling a short ball by debutant Daniel Worrall to the deep midwicket fence to reach the milestone. Post reaching the three-figure mark, he started looking more aggressive, targeting the leg-side in his 113-ball knock that contained as many as 11 sixes.

South African won by a canter, usurping the 295-run target with 82 balls to spare.
