#1 Quinton de Kock
He is the closest you can get to Gilchrist in the modern era. De Kock has seen a meteoric rise in his career, being viewed as a successor to Mark Boucher since he was 21. Three years into his debut, he has proven his worth in gold with some fearless hitting and excellent work with gloves.
In AB De Villiers' continued absence, De Kock has been tried at various positions by South Africa. But he is at his best at No. 6 and 7, tackling the second new ball with ease, scoring at a brisk pace with the tail and exhibiting the potential to turn matches around in a session.
In the Hobart Test against Australia, he scored a blistering 104 off 143 balls, including 17 boundaries, to give South Africa's collapsing batting order a much needed boost. The 144-run stand for the 6th wicket with Temba Bavuma went a long way in ensuring an innings victory for SA.
