IPL 2022: LSG`s Quinton de Kock sets Twitter on fire with a blazing hundred vs KKR, check reactions
Lucknow Super Giants opener Quinton de Kock was lucky to be dropped and went on to score 140 off 70 balls, including 10 fours and 10 sixes and went unbeaten in the end.
Highlights
- De Kock was dropped inside the powerplay and he made most use of the second chance
- Rahul played role of an anchor as De Kock went all guns blazing from other end
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) openers Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul made a mockery of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers as they smashed 210 without losing a single wicket in 20 overs. After winning the toss, LSG opted to bat first and courtesy de Kock's second IPL hundred, posted a massive total.
LSG's 210/0 is also the best opening partnership in the history of the league. This is the highest opening partnership in IPL 2022.
De Kock made 140 off 70 balls, including 10 fours and 10 sixes and went unbeaten in the end.
LSG captain KL Rahul too smashed 68 off 51 balls, and his innings included 3 fours and 4 sixes.
Check how fans reacted to this amazing innings and partnership:
None of the KKR bowlers could pose any challenge with Sunil Narine returning with figures of 0 for 27, while Tim Southee and Andre Russell conceded 57 and 45 runs in four and three overs respectively.
A win here will take Lucknow to the playoffs of IPL 2022. Even with 16 points, LSG sit at the third place in the points table and need a win to guarantee a place in the top 2. The top 2 confirms your spot in Qualifier 1 which means even if a team loses in that contest, they will get another go in Eliminator 2, to get a shot in the final.
