Quinton de Kock’s explosive innings takes South Africa to big score and increases intrigue ahead of IPL 2026 auction
Notably, De Kock played a brilliant inning of 90 runs in just 46 balls, helping South Africa post a mammoth total of 213/4 in the second T20I against India.

He dominated the middle overs with his power-hitting and sent seven balls over the ropes, most of which went to deep square leg.
