With his 19th ODI century, the 30-year-old equalled Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, former West Indies captain Brian Lara, and Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene in the most ODI centuries tally.
Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara has the record for most consecutive centuries scored in an ODI World Cup. The left-hander hit four back-to-back hundreds against Bangladesh, England, Australia and Scotland in the 2015 World Cup played in Australia and New Zealand.
de Kock previously hit back-to-back ODI centuries against India in 2013. He went on to complete a hat-trick of centuries later.
