Hashim Amla, a former South African batsman, is concerned that Quinton de Cock's premature retirement from Test cricket may hurt South Africa's batting. At Centurion, india defeated south africa by 113 runs in the first Test. Quinton de Cock, South Africa's wicketkeeper, announced his abrupt resignation from the Test series after the match. The fact that the South African team's batting line-up is already weak will exacerbate Q de Cock's rest. There are no batters in the South African lineup who can play big except skipper Elgar, Markram, and Bavuma. As a result, the South African squad enters the second Test in a precarious batting situation.

The retirement of quinton de kock will further deplete South Africa's batting line-up. De Kock and Bavuma were brought in to strengthen the midfield. As a result, Bavuma must play in the top row, either as the third or fourth player. If necessary, Bavuma is also responsible for preventing wicket collapse. However, I am hopeful that the South African team will perform better and win the second Test. We shall not be missing the indian team's series on our home turf. It would be a strong match if both Markram and Elgar bat well and play good innings. Young athletes must play with a lot of self-assurance.

Now, sources revealed that he retired abruptly as cricket SA Board never granted him leave from the ongoing series despite his request to be with his wife as they are expecting the arrival of a new born kid.
