IND vs SA: Quinton de Kock Creates History, Breaks Kumar Sangakkara's World Record After Hitting Century In Vizag
Quinton de Kock scored an elegant 106 runs off 89 balls and created history during the third and final ODI between India and South Africa at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock created history after scoring an impressive century in the third and final ODI of the three match series against India at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, December 6.
After being invited to bat first by India, De Kock opened the innings for South Africa and scored an elegant 106 runs off 89 balls (including 8 fours and 6 sixes). The 32-year-old De Kock, who came out of ODI retirement, last month, now has two fifties and two hundreds in six innings since making his comeback.
This was 23rd ODI hundred for De Kock and he etched his name deeper into cricket history by equaling Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara's world record for the most ODI centuries by a designated wicketkeeper-batter - both now stand at 23.
