Beyond the numbers
ODIs are where de Kock's numbers peak
Across 159 One-Day International appearances, de Kock averages 47.07 with a strike rate of 96.77. That average sits comfortably clear of his returns in T20 cricket, making the 50-over format the clearest measure of his quality.
Centurion is his most productive venue
In 37 matches at Centurion, de Kock has scored 2,088 runs at an average of 58.00 and a strike rate of 117.57. No other ground in his top venues comes close to that average, and the ground's pace-friendly surface appears to suit his game.
Bangladesh and West Indies bring out his best
De Kock averages 50.00 against Bangladesh across 19 matches and 47.17 against West Indies in 26 outings. Both are significantly above his overall career average of 37.17, and his strike rate against West Indies sits at 114.57.
IPL experience runs deep across multiple franchises
115 IPL appearances for five different franchises, including Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore, have produced 3,312 runs at a strike rate of 133.98. He is one of the most travelled overseas players in the tournament's history.
T20I century stands out in recent form
De Kock's 115 off 49 balls against West Indies on 29 January 2026 is the headline performance from his last ten outings. South Africa won that match, and the innings showed what he can produce at the top of the order when conditions suit.
