Team India and South Africa are all set to face each other in a three-match ODI series after completing the two-match Test series. The ODI leg will begin on November 30 at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Jharkhand. Both teams will look at getting off to a good start, and one player who will be under the spotlight is South African opener Quinton de Kock. He has a brilliant record against India in ODIs and has more often than not been a match-winner for his side. De Kock likes batting against India, having scored runs in various conditions and different match situations. His form in this format has always been steady, and India will again be aware of the threat he carries at the top. On this note, here is a close look at his numbers against India in ODIs.

He has played 20 ODIs against India, scoring 1,077 runs at an average of 53.85. A strike rate of 91.58 reflects how freely he scores while never really losing control of his innings. The fact that six of his eight fifty-plus scores in ODIs against India have been converted into centuries shows how well he builds big innings once he gets set. In the process, he also became one of the four designated wicket-keepers to score 1,000 or more ODI runs against India. The other three names on this elite list are big legends of the game: Kumar Sangakkara (2,632 runs) Adam Gilchrist 1,622 runs Andy Flower (1,086 runs) Sharing space with these names proves how good de Kock has been against the Indian bowling attack across different periods. Chance to Equal Sanath Jayasuriya De Kock's six ODI centuries against India are a joint-second most by any batter in history. He is only second to Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya, who scored seven hundreds against India. This puts him in a great position going into the ODI series. The moment de Kock scores one more century, he will equal Jayasuriya's record. If he scores two, he will go past him and hold the record for most ODI tons by any batter against India. This gives the upcoming series an extra talking point because de Kock is known to score big runs the moment he gets into rhythm.

He averages 53.85 among batters who have scored over 1,000 runs against India in ODIs, which is fifth-best. De Kock and Pakistan great Zaheer Abbas are the only two batsmen to score three successive ODI hundreds against India in a bilateral series. A big part of de Kock's success has come in home conditions. He has scored 625 runs at an average of 78.12 against India in South Africa. In India, he has scored 382 runs at 42.44, which shows he has enjoyed batting in Indian conditions as well. The remaining 70 runs have come in neutral venues at an average of 23.33. As the ODI series gets underway, India will look to get de Kock out early, aware of the damage he is capable of causing once he gets into his zone. His record clearly suggests he has been one of the best batters India have faced in the modern ODI era.
