Quinton de Kock will retire from the 50-overs format after the Cricket World Cup but he looks to be going out at the peak of his powers after back-to-back centuries in India fuelled belief that South Africa can be trophy contenders.
The wicketkeeper-batsman struck 100 from 84 balls against Sri Lanka in their opener and followed that up with 109 from 106 versus Australia on Thursday to help his side to two thumping wins at the start of a campaign where many had written them off.
"They were potent up front, so we assessed our scoring options. We are pretty pleased with ourselves, but we are only two games in and anything can happen." De Kock, who has scored 19 centuries in 147 ODI innings, said there was no secret behind his last two at the World Cup.
