Quinton de Kock

South African cricketer de Kock, currently part of the Delhi Daredevils in the ongoing Indian Premier League, was staring at a Royal Challengers Bangalore total of 191, set by the hosts for them to chase down. Playing at the Chinnaswamy, known to be a chasing wicket, the Daredevils, with a robust batting lineup, may have fancied their chances, but lost two wickets early on.

The 22-year-old, partnered by Karun Nair, was at the crease after Delhi’s openers had crumbled.

De Kock fired from all directions for a 51-ball 108 that left the opponents reeling in his wake. He found the boundary rope frequently during the knock, and ably assisted by Nair’s half-century, took his team to victory leaving the Challengers stunned.
