Quinton de Kock made a near clean sweep at Cricket South Africa's (CSA) annual awards dinner in Kyalami last night.
The left-hander dominated the ceremony, scooping five awards including the SA Player of the Season.
De Kock capped a stellar season in which he excelled in all formats, by also claiming the awards for test, ODI, Players' Player, as well as Fans' Player of the Year.
Only Kagiso Rabada has scooped more awards in one night.
The Lions' pace bowler walked away with six trophies last season.

De Kock, however, matched batsmen Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers, who also won five awards in one season.
The most striking element of De Kock's development last season was an ability to accumulate runs when the going was good, as much as when the Proteas were on the back foot.
His most notable ODI performance was the 178 he chalked up against Australia in a series that yielded 300 runs at an average of 60.
His penchant for finding the boundary was illustrated in a strike rate in excess of 137.
Legspinner Imran Tahir, for the second consecutive year, took the ODI Player of the Year award, while Temba Bavuma was another repeat winner capturing the award for excellence for his quite magnificent running out of David Warner at Newlands in November last year.
