de Kock IPL teams: The Lucknow Super Giants wicket-keeper batter was at his imperious best against KKR in IPL 2022.

During the 66th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League at the DY Patil Sports Academy Stadium in Mumbai, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) wicket-keeper batter Quinton de Kock registered his second century in the marquee league’s history, against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), with the latter’s bowlers literally gasping for their breaths post the end of the innings.

Tonking the spinners and pacers alike at a mind-boggling strike rate of 200, de Kock amassed a total of 140 unbeaten runs off mere 70 deliveries, with the assistance of 10 towering Sixes and as many Fours.

He stitched together a 210-run partnership- the highest ever in IPL for the 1st wicket, alongside his skipper KL Rahul (68* off 51), as the LSG openers carried their bats playing out all the 20 Overs themselves.

While the unbeaten 210-run stand was the highest ever against KKR for any wicket, it was also the third-highest in the history of the tournament for any team.
