Protea Power in Blue and Gold - QDK, Rickelton and Bosch
Quinton de Kock opens the batting with class and flair. 🕺
Ryan Rickelton on the other hand strikes the ball with perfect timing through square. 👌
While Corbin Borsch the allrounder tears through the rival attack with no mercy to spare. ⚔️
All three South Africans put together are every opposition’s nightmare. 🤯
Although the campaign ended in a heartbreak for the Proteas in the semi-final at the 2026 T20 World Cup, it was a pretty dominant campaign, and a large part of a credit needs to go to the three boys from the OneFamily. 💙
Quinton de Kock, the left-handed opening Protea with a sharp cricketing mind and outstanding glovework behind the stumps adds his own special touch. His encouraging voice behind the stumps always motivates the bowler giving them valuable inputs. His calmness while batting, sticking to his strengths, piercing the gaps, and clearing big boundaries gives the team added boost during the powerplay.
Quinny ended the T20 WC tournament with 181 runs in 8 games 👏. His performance stood out during the game versus Afghanistan where he made a 41 ball 59, which included 5 fours and 3 sixes with a SR-143.9. His ek number performance was also seen as South Africa took on West Indies…he smashed 47 in just 24 balls, SR-195.83. Come IPL, the expectations will be high. Paltan, will be eager to watch and cheer for the most dangerous opener in white ball cricket. Glimpses were seen at the WC; now it is time for the actual movie to release in Blue and Gold at Wankhede.🎬
Showing flashes of a future super star- another stylish left-handed batter, Ryan Rickelton has made most of the opportunity provided at the number 3 slot. His repertoire includes dominant powerful shots and well-timed ones along the ground. His signature maximums, pick up shots, offside drives make him someone to look out for in the shortest format of the game.💪
With South Africa facing Canada in their opening clash of the T20 WC, Ryan made a quick fire 33(21). Once again, he stood tall in the thrilling game versus Afghanistan with 61 in just 28 balls, with 5 fours and 4 sixes. His cameo knock against the Kiwis-21 off 11 added a lot of value and his 16 balls 30 also proved vital against the UAE 💙. His unbeaten 45(28), SR-160.71 versus West Indies showed what an impactful player he is up the order. Rickelton mein dum hai boss, 228 runs in total Paltan…now fingers crossed for a bang bang show in blue and gold. 🤞
Corbin Borsch, the all-rounder, has been instrumental in his own way. Bowling tight overs under pressure, good variations, and the ability to break partnerships at crucial junctures make him a stand out performer. With 11 wickets in the WC, Economy-7.64 with best figures of 3/12 versus UAE. 🤌
All three have different strengths but ata bas ekach mission, IPL trophy ghari aanaycha! ❤️🏆
