New Delhi: The former Australian all-rounder praised Quinton de Kock’s scintillating unbeaten 97, which guided Kolkata Knight Riders to a comfortable chase against Rajasthan Royals, describing his knock as vintage and beautifully executed.
After spin twins Varun Chakaravarthy (2-17) and Moeen Ali’s (2-23) brilliance, in the absence of Sunil Narine, restricted RR to 151/9. De Kock’s unbeaten 61-ball 97, an innings that included eight fours and six sixes, ensured that KKR rushed towards the target in just 17.3 overs at the Barsapara Stadium on Wednesday night.
“It was definitely a comfortable chase, and Quinton de Kock was simply outstanding tonight. That was vintage Quinton de Kock - the kind of brilliance we’ve seen over the last 10 to 15 years, whether in the IPL or on the international stage. He executed his shots beautifully.”
“That pull shot he played off Jofra Archer over mid-wicket - my goodness - it was a testament to the sublime form he’s in,” Watson said on JioHotstar. IANS
