Veteran South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock has received massive praise from the former Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who is the brand ambassador for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026, ahead of the semifinal clash against New Zealand on March 4 in Kolkata.

Rohit Sharma picks Quinton de Kock over himself for world’s best pull shot
Interestingly, Rohit himself said that he is not the one who plays the best pull shot in the world. India’s current ODI captain feels De Kock is the best player of this dangerous stroke. Rohit has shared the dressing room with the South African star and has closely seen his skill against fast bowlers.
De Kock is known for attacking the short ball without fear. He quickly picks the length and sends the ball racing to the boundary. His balance, quick hands, and fearless mindset make his pull shot special.
Rohit Sharma said on ICC, "I think Quentin de Kock. He's the guy because I played with him. I know he's a good player of the short ball.”
