Meanwhile, in the third match, he finally reached the three-figure mark as he scored a fantastic century off 108 balls. This was his 17th One Day International century and the 6th century against the Indian team.
Overall, he is the 5th fastest player in the history of One Day International cricket in terms of innings to score 17 One Day International centuries. He reached the 17 centuries landmark in 127 innings and he is just behind the likes of Hashim Amla, Virat Kohli, David Warner and Aaron Finch.

Bats, keeps, opens, potential captain and now only a white-ball player… Quinton de Kock could command a very high price at #IPLAuction2022.
Last time RCB bought him for 2.8cr and traded to Mumbai Indians (???♂️!!) who paid him the same. You can triple that now atleast! #SAvInd

Top knock from Quinton De Kock ?
Captaincy, comments regarding AB, mental-health break, knee controversy, test retirement.
Has been through a lot during last year or so, most importantly let the bat do the talking.#SAvsIND— Manoj Dimri (@manoj_dimri) January 23, 2022

Earlier, India won the toss and elected to field first and they made 4 changes in the playing XI, as Suryakumar Yadav, Jayant Yadav, Prasidh Krishna and Deepak Chahar were included in the team and Venkatesh Iyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were dropped. South Africa also made one change as they opted to go with just one spinner. They dropped Tabraiz Shamsi and added Dwaine Pretorius to the team.
Batting first, South Africa lost the wickets of Janneman Malan and Temba Bavuma in the powerplay itself. Also, Aiden Markram was dismissed by Deepak Chahar in the 13th over and at the time of writing, Quinton de Kock is batting brilliantly alongside Rassie van der Dussen and South Africa are at 197/3.
