Top 5 openers in ODIs going into the Champions Trophy

#2 Quinton de Kock

de Kock forms a formidable opening batting partnership along with Hashim Amla

The South African wicket-keeper batsman has one of the best ODI records since 2016. He is the third highest run-scorer in the world since 2016 with 1080 runs in 22 matches, including 4 hundreds and a highest of 178 against Australia.

The left-handed opener is a terrific striker of the cricket ball despite his short stature. He times the ball impeccably and has the best conversion rate in ODIs in terms of converting 50s to 100s.

With Hashim Amla guiding from the other end, de Kock is a bowler's nightmare. He plays pace and spin with equal ease and more often than not, goes at more than run a ball, as is evident from his strike rate of 108.54.
