Quinton de Kock Sets T20 World Cup Dismissals Record, First South African to 3,000 T20I Runs

His comeback has turned into a record-setting tear, from the T20 World Cup dismissals lead to 3,000 T20I runs.

Overview

  • De Kock moved past MS Dhoni with a catch to dismiss Tim Seifert off Marco Jansen at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
  • He now has 33 dismissals in 30 T20 World Cup matches, eclipsing Dhoni’s 32 in 33 appearances.
  • The wicketkeeper-batter crossed 3,000 T20I runs during the same match and sits on 3,018 from 105 games.
  • He reached the milestone on his 2,106th ball faced, reported as the fifth-fastest path to 3,000 T20I runs.
  • Already the global leader for T20I wicketkeeping dismissals with 111, he returned from retirement last year and added 20 off 14 in the 176-run chase against New Zealand.
